Hi ps2fixer,
The current discussions on warm air intakes claims that increased mpg is due to reduced throttle pumping losses, as hot air is less dense, so the throttle must be open wider to deliver the same mass of air. So this is improves efficiency at part throttle. If you had higher pressure that would increase the air density - so you see the problem.
