The increase in warm air in the engine bay is relatively immaterial compared to the temperature increases caused by turbo compression..
A good FMIC makes much more difference than whether you have a stock box, CAI or DCIs..
Personally I like the stock airbox and if I can hang onto a paper filter with my next stage of tune I will..as long as I'm not damaging the turbos I'll even sacrifice a few ponies for clean filtered air..
