You lost credibility with that statement when you said sap power to the turbo. This is my whole point. Intake air does not "power" a turbo. The only thing that "powers" a turbo is the exhaust gases that spin up the turbine and therefore the compressor on the same spindle.
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.
