To my mind the air spends so little time there the amount it will get heated is not worth bothering about.

protection from carb icing in cold weather Oh indeed! Like the time I had the throttle stick wide open on a freezing morning. Not easy holding your car off the one infront with nothing but drum brakes. Stopping on a frosty layby from 50mph was tough too. But saying that surely there wouldn't be much of a risk of icing up on a turbo lump? On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

Although a quick blast soon thaws it out... Best to stop for a few mins and leat the engine heat soak through though. 9.85 @ 145mph
