ICs can vary in heat dissipation from varying turbo sizes, their air flow ability, ambient temps, and boost level. This well known of course.
Bar/Plates are great for drag applications and power numbers, but not really daily or extended track use.
The pressure loss is greater and the turbo is working harder than it should.
@Ed @ EQT more likely chose the AMS because of its differentiated Louvered Fins that promote just as much cooling as a Bar/Plate would. That, and the fact it has an incredibly low pressure drop and provides “consistancy” all the time.
It may not be the optimum of cooling, but it will be consistantly cooler when it is demanded.
