Default CAI for A6?

What are the general thoughts about adding an intake to the A6 2.7t? Specifically an Evo motorsports intake.

Default Nobody has had much success. Lots can go wrong with a turbo intake.

First, the stock setup is fairly complex, and it has the usual array of sensors. Second, the temperatures under the hood get VERY hot, and lots of aftermarket setups just have an open filter under the hood. So it sucks in hot air. That's no good for turbos.

With all the other toys available to pull more HP out of a 2.7T, this seems like a very low-yield option.
