Don't get me wrong. I'm not dissing your idea. I was just giving my reasons for going a different route.

Here is what I was talking about in the earlier post. You can see how much intercooler is exposed once the flap is trimmed off. Took about 10 minutes to remove and trim it with scissors.

Not really. It is the upper most part of the intercooler tucked behind the grill.

So.. What issue is trying to be resolved here? I never have temp issues even here in Tx summers.

Intake temps are warmer in summer for sure, but not seeing any issues even when towing.

The turbo blanket helps until the AC condenser heats up the intercooler. After that, the MAT will not go below 130*F.
At least I have cold AC.

True, but read a post from a long-term user of them and there was a bunch of corrosion to fix as a result of water dumping into the bay. Not bashing, just say-in. Sure, the electrical connectors are supposed to be water tight, but . . . That person went back to a solid hood after all the wiring and misc corrosion was fixed.

Cool idea on misting. I went in a passive direction for pretty much Noob's reason. Had a 6.0 intercooler ceramic coated to shed heat. Will not have any comparison numbers though as the truck is about to go from nearly stock to slightly modified with the 6.0 intercooler and a few other goodies.

Good to know about trimming the upper flap and will look at that during the install.

Cooler air into the turbo would probably help. If it is a 6637 style filter sitting open in the engine bay it will take in hotter air than some of the more cleverly designed ones that shield it. An upgraded intercooler would probably help too.
