I have.

Oil temps will universally be higher on a turbo car that has an oil cooled turbo. You'll need a cooler that can keep up. Under hood temps will be higher with the turbo car, even with a vented hood.

IAT will vary, but assuming a similar level of boost the Turbo car (with base AVO turbo) will have a higher IAT as well. With similar boost, the AVO car will have a small AUC advantage, but that AUC advantage is not sustainable. At heat-soak equilibrium conditions, the JR kit will make similar AUC.

With a turbo car you add power with a bigger turbo (diminished transient response), or more boost (higher IAT); your cats are probably deleted to begin with. With a SC car, you can add power with more boost (higher IAT), or increasing VE (deleting cats, same boost).

Do you have specific questions?
