You make a good point! While it is unlikely that icing will occur with the injectors right at the intake valve, the car will warm slowly on a cold winter day here in New England.

Now if someone would instrument one with a properly working thermostat.....

I now make it a habit to occasionally feel the air box after a trip home to make sure it isn't running hot with a failed airbox thermostat. Mine always feels like it is at ambient temperature so far. (My old diesel car did have a failed airbox thermostat once and the improvement in performance was noticable with a new one.)

I'm guessing there is little downside to keeping a properly working thermostat system in place and it will surely reduce emissions in the winter.
