FYI, my OBDII reader displays IAT and i was between 90 and 104 out driving in the canyons in about 75* weather today.

And 4 to 6 parts CF heat shield with gold plated bottom to seperate the intercooler from the rest (funny ideafrom the PS).

Looks like that whole section is blocked off. Do you have the side intakes blocked, too? You want those open to feed cool air into engine bay.

Fundamentally the IC is mounted in less than ideal position and airflow to the engine bay is not great to begin with.

The heatshield would be slightly larger than the intercooler's footprint and slightly raised front and back. It won't block any airflow. all the heat is coming from beneath the IC.
