"Yes, the SMBC will increase heat by allowing for an increase in fuel/air charge. But anything that increases performance can be said to increase temperatures. And anything that increases performance will be keeping the WG more closed."
This is true when referring to software upgrades but not when referring to upgrades such as exhaust or intercooler upgrades that allow for better and more consistant performance by reducing temperatures (better breathing and increased efficiency assuming the air/fuel ratio is calculated properly...running lean equals increased combustion temps). Stock software would not fully utilize the hardware modifications so peak power might not change by much (if at all) if the hardware is upgraded w/o a software upgrade but you can testify to the performance benefits of opening the exhaust even with stock software.
