Under load that will be hotter than "bloody cold".

If that small a surface area at a reasonably close to ambient temperature could really cool air in that short a period of time, we wouldn't need intercoolers.

I can't see why anti lag would want to see the temperature 1 nano second before it normally would, with the air temp in the plenum. Maybe the plenum is cast differently and they don't want to drill it? Even then that is a very random guess, as I don't know either, without seeing so much more of the engine and setup.

Very true on a turbo set up!but think you woud be surprised how cold the air gets going through the tb!it wont be ambient temp thats for sure!
