No, it would be the same until.....
the stock IC get's heat soaked. Once that happens, the stock IC can't reject the heat fast enough, so the intake temps start to climb. The stock IC heatsoaks very fast on a chipped car.

Re: It almost sounds like your IC is restricting your flow so much
The reason the turbo is working harder is cause the cooler is much bigger so the turbo has to work harder to keep the cooler preasurised and still keep the same boost preasure at the intake manifold.
BTW: that stock turbo is so small that the stock cooler is almost to big, my 3 cyl 1 litre Firefly turbo was bigger.

fine, its no higher than before
