Heat is the enemy of any FI application.

Yes, a turbocharger is an adiabatic device and the hotter the incoming exhaust gas the more efficient the turbine, hot gas has a higher pressure and travels faster..in other words, hot gasses have more potential energy. A turbo is more than just a sort of water wheel. A hot turbo is a happy turbo.
They have something to cool the intake charge..it's called an intercooler
