Re: Yes it is...
If you look at this picture, the heatsink is at the top of the airbox in that "dome". It's not really at the opening of the horn and IMO the turbo5/LLtek intake actually cools it better since it's directly in the airflow.
You're basing everything on what your dealer told you. It seems like the dealer is trying to blame everything on you. I can't see how by cutting the horn the airflow to the heat sink is greatly reduced. It really doesn't look like there's that much airflow to it to begin with in the stock airbox. It is also possible the ignition amplifier failed on it's own and cooling is not the cause of it.
