R56 Wrap your intake?

Wrap your intake?
hello!
I check the temperature with a scanguage and I see that as the engine heats the intake temperature rises much! When should not have problems since taking air this stock ahead of the engine, in theory is not taking the hot air engine as if it were a cold air intake that would be logic that takes the hot air from the engine to be open
I have the feeling that the intake to the heat sends heat inside, would it be good if I wrap the intake?

You probably won't notice a difference. While driving and not in boost intake temperatures are only slightly (~5 F) above ambient.
The main source of heat is due to compressing the intake air by the compressor, but this is then partially cooled by the intercooler.
If you really want to cool the intake air then install a water/methanol injection kit. This will result in below ambient intake air.

could you tell me whats the pros and cons the water/Methanol on mcs?
Thanks

Pros:
Colder intake temps = denser air
Cooler combustion chamber temps
Cooler burn
Methanol increases octane of fuel
Decreases possibility of knock
May decrease carbon buildup on intake valves
All of these contribute to the overall health and longevity of the engine especially when you're really thrashing it.
Cons:
Haven't found one yet.
