My understanding is it does help with cooling (slightly) if you have a TMIC as is helps draw air through the scoop however having the exhaust and sump in fresh air pretty much balances it out, especially if you have a FMIC.

Also without one you will notice any minor leaks a lot sooner as the tray does not catch any drips!
