Addressing high IAT

Has anyone with the N20 ever done something to address high intake air temps?

At two separate events now (both with a temp of 80+ and at an elevation of over 5000 ft) I've had power drop offs mid-session. The first time I suspected it was the IAT and this time I monitored it on track to confirm it.

There don't seem to be any intercooler upgrade option for E84 with N20, so I'm looking for thoughts on this.

One possible option is a cold-air intake, but I am skeptical about this really helping as I do not see how the options for our car will really result in lower IATs, as it just sits in the hot engine bay without piping in outside air.
