Heat transfer is simple. The temperature of two masses will converge to a value somewhere between the original temperatures of each body. Hence you can't have hot air beeing cooled by warm air and ending up cold. Its physically impossible.
The only way that the intake air could be ending up cooler would be if there was an expansion of the gas but this would be useless in automotive applications because it would be the same as losing boost pressure. If you've seen it in real life then either one of the laws of thermodynamics is wrong or the set-up that you saw it on wasn't accurate. Was the temperature measured with the same thermometer at the same time? Was it under steady state conditions? There are a lot of variables that come into play and could have been misleading.

FYI the editorial is on autospeed but I'd be breaking copyright laws by posting it. sorry for the dud reference.

take it easy,
Monty
