you would always be pulling in cooler air from the bumper helping cool the IAT
any thoughts?

Most of those electric "superchargers" don't cause enough suction to do much. Some even installed onto an air box or the end of an intake can bottle neck the amount of air your engine can actually pull in. The DIY CAI is a better choice as there's nothing to restrict the air but it does allow you to direct cold air from the bumper up towards the intake boxes. The DIY CAI actually works very well. Dropped my temps from about 60-70 above ambient temps with the K&N intake to about 20 degrees above ambient after.
