I gotta disagree - the Euro-spec intercooled 8v cars were rated at 155hp versus the US-spec non-intercooled 8v cars at 135hp at the same boost level. That is pretty substantial. 8psi of 200 degree F air is less physical air than 8psi of 100 degree F air. I made up those numbers, but the point being that an APC-equipped engine will have more physical air to process with an intercooler than without, and that is directly more horsepower. IMHO, a cooler intake charge is better for the engine than a warmer one, and that alone is reason is reason enough to intercool.
