Hell, plugged in the math again and even at 4psi in that same scenario you'd be looking at over 150 degrees F...that's not exactly a friendly intake temperature if you ask me.

I would agree that there is a break even point, but that point most likely occurs less than 1psi into boost in most cases. Most intercoolers result in 1 or maybe a couple psi of pressure drop, but some of that is attributed to the drop in temperature...not just the slight restriction it causes, which is negligible really.
