I think Terry from BMS has done some real-time data logging (doing real-world in-gear pulls) with the DCI's vs stock and discovered that IAT's are *not* affected significantly.

In fact since the stock turbos have to work less hard sucking in the air (less restriction+shorter intake tracts) they work slightly cooler also building booster faster thus offsetting any minor power losses from hot air.
Here's a link to some of the testing you are referring to.

BMS has sold over 1,000 intakes alone, and he is a small tuner. What about all the other tuners with similar intakes that have been sold. That would mean thousands of intake users are all losing power and experiencing limp modes. I think many of them would have come forward by now and stated that there intake doesn't work and they have switched back to the factory intake if this were the case.
