I don't know who brought up the cold air intake, but it's close to pointless on a turboed car since your turbo will heat up the air after anyways, and then your intercooler will cool it down, so the initial difference in air temperature you will get from a CAI to a "short ram" will be minuscule to nothing.

and thats exactly why its NOT called a cold air intake. the reason for an intake on a turboed car is to do away with the restrictive stock intake. its not to get colder air.

IF the tb sucks air from the crank case by the pcv valve would the air really be that muck colder even with a cai on a normal car?

Yes cuz how much air is the intake going to suck from the camcase (for lack of better term). Think about it. The PCV valve is a pressure control and vaccum system valve. It's there to maintain a certain pressure on the camcase. It's not there to SUCK air out it's there to allow the head's upper end to vent itself vice blowing out gaskets. You'll get a VERY small amount of air sent through that. Not enough to change the air temp more than a fraction of a degree.
