I feel that I've been misquoted there.....

as I recall I actually said having the turbo so close to the engine can give heat related issues to the engine
I know of a few low mounted turbo installations that have issues with overheating wiring / VVT actuators, cooling fans etc

its has little to do with how the turbo actually performs, although airflow over the turbo is also nice to have as it will buy you a little headroom
