Air intake temperature.
I just used my OBD-II scanner to scan my C230K. I found out the intake temperature is very consistant staying at 32C degrees and go up as high as 35C in idel (I have a K&N cone filter under the hood that is sucking all this hot air). The intake temp is mesured after the intercooler; therefore I think the intercooler really cool down the air well. The outside temperature was 25C and the temperature inside the engine bay is very very hot. I don't think cold airtake will really benefit our car, since the air will be compress by the supercharge anyway and the intercooler will do it's job to cool the air down; therefore, having a cold air intake will not help that much.
