One solution might be an 80's toyota carbed vacuum controlled flapper (vac motor) that uses manifold vacuum controlled by a sensor located in the bottom of the air filter housing. This setup is supposed to keep the intake temp at around 100F. I'd guess that you could move the sensor around so that you might be able to control your IAT in a range from under 100 F to over 100F? If the sensor was in ambient air it would try to raise the IAT temp under any conditions other than 100F ambient. If it was mounted on a coolant hose...it would only raise the IAT temp until the engine was halfway warmed up?
