Do turbo charged engines run hotter?

Turbocharging an engine increases the power output by compressing the air that enters the engine. This compression causes the air to heat up, which in turn can lead to higher engine temperatures. To compensate for this, turbocharged engines are often equipped with intercoolers, which help to cool the air before it enters the engine. Additionally, turbocharged engines may have modified cooling systems, such as larger radiators or more powerful fans, to help keep the engine cool under high-boost conditions.
