It's hard to say. At high speeds air goes over the scoop, this is known. At the lower speeds while coming in, the configuration works. I checked temps once and found a significant difference between the hot and cold side. But I had a slow in lap before checking.
After about 15 minutes, the car is significantly down on power. I contribute this to the FMIC no longer working. Putting a larger IC in that location doesn't change the fact that that location isn't getting any air.

I find it hilariously amusing that he pulls random comments from random people and selectively operates based on this info, yet refuses to listen to people with actual years of experience building/tuning/testing various cars/setups.

Your "testing" is massively flawed and your conclusion is really bad.
But what do I know.
I'm not against FMICs, they have their place, but for 90% of the Subaru's out there, they are not worth it.

More volume will create more surface area for heat transfer. But that's also more volume that the turbo has to fill. It's a give/take.
