Superchargers definitely run much, much cooler than turbos. Turbine housings will glow red from the heat and if you had proper airflow across a supercharger you could put your hand on it. Turbo's also require a cooling source where SC's just need a lubrication source. Therfore a turbo will feed more heat back into the system either through oil, coolant or both.

Top mount turbo's will produce a lot of engine bay heat, twin turbos will also as heat rises up into the bay except where when your moving it should escape bettter. Then theres the BP kit that mid mounts it where all of the heat escapes. Even in the best scenario you wouldnt be gaining anything from a heat management point by going to a turbo setup.

*Edit*. Now you have me thinking that the parasitic drag from not only 1 but 2 superchargers must be pretty intense. Possibly the extra amount of heat the engine produces to overcome the drag is creating more heat than a different kit.
