It's about lowering the waste gate duty cycles, and in turn you will have lower IAT and improve times theoretically.

Imagine breathing out of a thin straw, you can still breathe, but its harder, in this case its making the turbo's work harder and in turn producing more heat.

Theres some old threads from 08-09 about WGDC with different intakes. It was a common discussion back in the day, not so much anymore.

Edit- guys back in the day used to run with the top of the stock intake box removed, IIRC they noticed improved performance.
