Small turbos get good mpg ratings, but their real world use is different: https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1109366_small-turbo-eng...
The trouble with turbos: Why fuel economy can be worse, not better https://www.theglobeandmail.com/globe-drive/adventure/red-li...
Could we be reaching the end of the road for small-capacity turbocharged engines?

Maybe just delete your comment then, it is distracting

Not saying its not hot or hotter, I'm saying the air is not moving through a compressor (which /would/ heat the gas as it does work on the gas to move it to higher pressure), it moving through a turbine, which is recapturing the internal energy of the exhaust gas to improve the efficiency of the engine.

>EGTs are usually measured close to the head. This provides a much quicker response time as well as a more accurate reading. In fact, the temperature of the exhaust gas following the turbocharger can be as much as 200 to 300 degrees lower than the temperature upstream of the turbo. Air resistance caused by the turbo itself can also cause increases in the temperature upstream that would not be detected past the turbo.
Yes, the temps right out of the head are higher before the turbine vs after for sure, but temperatures going into the cat converter are still generally higher in a turbocharged application compared to an aspirated engine.
Was I pedantic? Yes. Still salty though.
Advanced timing + turbo = boom.
Increased charge density from >atmospheric pressure causes faster flame propigation and pushes the fuel closer to its knock point when compressed.
Turbos also run a richer mixture under load to cool the intake charge.
Richer mixture and a comparitively later burning and therefore hotter exaust stream increase exhaust temperature (along with the ability to produce more power aka burn more fuel)
