Don't get me wrong I under what you are saying but are referring a twin set-up close to the engine or a rear mounted turbo futher away from the engine? I know that the STS perfers to run cooler than front mounted....

They are probably throwing bags of ice on their intercoolers or airboxes so that the intake air charge is temporarily cooled. If you through a bag of ice on an engine block it would immediately melt (assuming the engine had been run).
