Boost is boost. Air that gets compressed gets hot. The higher the boost the hotter it gets. They sell intercoolers to cool the air.

I think he is geting mixed up with the out side heat from the hot side of the turbo. Yes turbos get hot on the out side but a little bit of heat wrap takes care of that. As said above boost is boost both turbos and supercharges heat up the air thats why they sell intercoolers and water injection. If you built a good turbo kit with a good intercooler with supporting mods and good tuning you would be safe and could probaly spin around270-300 on the dyno.

It would be ALOT more work to use a supercharger off a grandprix or something than to turbo these cars.

You shouldn't. The turbo hooks up in the rear of the car. Not the front.

He is right you will not need headers for the kit your cast manifold will work just fine. STS is upgrading its line for the F-body the new system has more space and they are adding a new intercooler that can be added with the kit or latter down the road.
