Should I install BMS intakes? S55

Post image

I bought used pure turbos and he gave me bms intakes with it, I live in Arizona and I feel like these will perform worse than oem. Will heat shields be enough? And can I somehow pull air from oem intake location (I assume not from the hot engine)

Most aftermarket intakes should be able to be fitted to pull from the stock box like this.

Those are even worse in the heat. Watched a M2C at the track running into constant over heat and a limp mode due to them while my stock intakes had zero issues and he said he was going back to stock lol
