When I was living in town and driving in traffic before the turbo. I've seen the temp spike up 260+ but since the turbo and oil cooler it was around 220-230. Just like most cars it needs air flow to help cool off the engine.
Trust me if I was a home more often I would but at the same time I moved away from all the traffic so I would have go sit in traffic on purpose. Not much on traffic.

Nobody is tracking with FI because none here that TT'd their cars appear to be into road racing.. It does not mean it can't be done. Boost WILL, no matter where the turbo is located, cause some sort of temperature increase. Yes it will be more on a conventional setup than on a remote mount setup... but it can be controlled, people here make it sound like its mission impossible or something.
I'm sure with the right amount of money you could track a FI Ford Pinto. It's all about the money, time and development.
