I have not had the blower or intake off yet, so just speculation on my part regarding heat flow.
If the lower intake is already thermally insulated from the heads as you state, is it possible that there is a thermal path from the blower, to the lower intake, to the intercooler, to it's radiator? Again, a path for heat to be removed from the blower, so insulating it would be a bad thing?
In any case, I'm just throwing this out for discuss purposes, rather than: how old are you? or which tuner is best?

No shot, just trying to have a somewhat intelligent conversation on a topic without it turning into a personal insult or tuner bashing.
I installed phenolic spacers under the Webers on a 911 many years ago to stop the fuel from boiling during auto-x events and then catching the magnesium venturies on fire when you park it.
There are advantages to phenolics you just have to decide where you want the heat path.
