[quote=“mike125k,post:34,topic:34561"”] when will you people learn, turbos using exhaust have nothing to do with heat… intake charge heat comes from compressing air, doesn’t matter how you compress it, turbo or sc, its compressing air so there will be an increase in heat. [/quote] i was referring to the turbo itself heating up… it’s way too easy for a turbo to heat up, and for grass/leaves/random garbage and/or paper on the street to get blown up under your car, and ignite when hitting the turbo…this is obviously worse case scenario…but still a possibility… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/pros-and-cons-turbo-charging-vs-supercharging/34561)._
