I dont quite see the logic with all the worries about heatsoak on a turbo car. Surely you just want maximum flow possible. The air is going into a red hot turbo anyway. If you want to lower inlet temps get a better fmic?
The seat boys love the huge jetex cone filters and I know prawn on audisport got a MAF reading of 182g/s in comparison to 171g/s with a airbox and panel filter. Using the whole divide by 0.8 I think he reckons he saw about 7bhp gain.
I don't think a dyno even with a big fan simulates the air passing though an engine bay when on the road.
That's ijust my logic anyway 
With you on that logic!!! If getting remap done in summer 25degrees fan no way pushing enough cold air in as if driving at 70mph when cars being revved 7000rpm in same place. If were the case no one would ever buy induction kit just smooth airbox with panel filter!!! Have seen it where use 3 massive fans with airducts on one channeled to cooler and other to air intake and other keep coolant temp down. Only seen that set up once when i to Silverstone with work BMW thing deffo not same set up as when had mine dyno'd this week.
