Yes heat management is very much a thing for the air being compressed, but that air does not "power" the turbo. My focual point of the autosport comment was the overly simple terminology being used which is basically wrong.

Wrong, too hot and poor airflow into the compressor causes a pressure drop. The turbo doesn't just rely on the exhaust gas pressure but also the air inlet pressure and temperature for the turbo to spin up properly.
