i believe the stock tmic gets plenty of flow when you are moving at any reasonable speed. ive logged intake temps and they get pretty hot during boost, but then cool back down extremely quickly, within a couple seconds. I have the heat shield removed on mine though. but this tells me its not a flow problem, but more the stock IC does not have enough surface area to keep cool. im thinking increasing flow through the IC will not help as much as trying to increase the size the the intercooler. look at what REamemiya did with welding two cores together
