Another less talked about way of reducing intake temps would be a relocated diverter valve to right before the tb

Water meth+ relocated DV+ upgraded intercooler= more cooling then anyone would probably need

I dont think a DV relocation would impact IAT's....or at least Id have to see numbers on it supporting it.

I'm quoting modshack here,
the great majority of the time you're recirculating air ie: the DV is open and dumping hot air from right off the turbo exit pipe back into the intake. By relocating the DV to just before the Throttle body, you're now recirculating cool air that has already passed through the intercoolers. You're also depressurizing the system at the point of obstruction (The throttle body), not the whole intake tract from the current dump point. Benefits:
Cooler eventual intake temps
Faster DV response
Less turbo spool down on shifts and off throttle
No heat related problems with the DV

This is what I run. I'm not BT, but most BT setups run DV relocation for the reasons your stated in your previous posts.
