Referring to the entire tube from the throttle body passing through the engine area to the intercooler.. It is possible because most cars now have plastic intake runners just for the heat soak..

The problem I think might be plastic can expand and with forced induction you do not want that.
If you want to counter any heat soak you can do thermal coating, intake pipe wrapping, or even do the gold wrapping stuff.
