With some simple mods; separate the coolant systems, adding a larger HE and perhaps a better pump, you can get your IAT's to some pretty tame levels. I had good results with these mods (LINK) and the cost was less then $600 (without my custom tank). More pics in my gallery.

Also Woody (AKA waldig) has done a lot of work with engine and IC cooling. Here is one of his mods (LINK). You could give him a PM.

Don't let the haters on this forum get you down - just keep doing your thing and have fun with your car...
I ordered it. I definitely hope it helps, but even if it does nothing, it will be better than the leaky stock intercooler I have now (common problem, at least on the older C32's). It was actually $51 cheaper than an OEM unit, so I am already ahead.
