Now I know the basics of turbos and blah blah, but why is an intake bad? I can't seriously imagine that it screws up the tune.

it might not be so much that it's bad as much that it provides no performance gain. this is the case with a couple turbo cars i can think of because the stock airbox is well designed and well heat shielded.

I have noticed that on a lot of turbo cars. intake does nothing on DSMs. The only reason we get different bovs is because the 2g plastic one doesnt hold anything over 15 psi, so basically its a first mod to replace it with a 1g, that can hold 25 psi crushed.
