Intake piping over hot side is a bad idea

In theory.. yes... in reality, even stock turbo setups have intake piping running over the hot side or directly over the engine which (theoratically) should capture all the heat off the head.

The problem is more the inconsistency between sides rather than the heat itself.

Air behaves differently at different temps, and you are going to wind up with a good bit of delta
