No, the temperatures DO change. You are getting hung up on the fact that the turbo is increasing temperatures, and drawing the incorrect conclusion that the CAI didn't contribute to reduced temps going into the engine. That's false. Remember, the increase in temperature resulting from the compressor is additive to the intake temp.

The output of the compressor will be even hotter if the input into the compressor is hot.
