Just seems like a motor would like cooler air....but like you said...there won't be any seat of pants difference.
But the motor is never ever seeing that cooler air. The only cooling that is happening is from the intercooler. That charge air is superheated by the turbo then cooled thru the intercooler and pushed into the manifold. My point being, the atmosphere temp entering your air intake can vary up to 30* and have zero effect on charge air temp.
