Yes it will take in a lot, but as long as the car is moving the intake temps are not bad. For example I went data logging tonight and as long as the car is moving 50km/h or more the post intercooler temps were around 20 degrees C or cooler while the ambient temp was 11 degrees C. I could see if you were in slow moving traffic your intake temps would get really hot due to no air flow through the intercooler, but that is definitely not a concern where I live. One day I may build an intake, but it is not currently on my priority list.

The oil pan is a stocker which I sandblasted and repainted
