What arent you getting? Turbos make lots of heat, and it cooks everything. Maybe you dont notice this because you dont ever run your car at WOT for more than 14 seconds at a time at the dragstrip, but when you run a turbo car on track for 20-30 minutes at a time, shit gets HOT, and it stays hot. There's no where for the heat to go, and its hard to keep temps stabilized at a reasonable level running it hard for that amount of time. Its not impossible at all, it just requires more work, preparation, and some dilligence to monitor the temps.

Unless its plumbed to the front bumper/grill, then its an oil heater.
