forced induction and heat question.

will the heat generated by a turbo at a certain PSI lets say 10psi. will it have the same air temp as a large turbo hitting 10 as opposed to a tiny turbo hitting 10?

Edit: reworded better lol

question. will two turbos one huge one tiny, pushing out the same psi, will they generate the same amount of heat?

the large one will be hotter, turbos run off exhaust gasses, therefore, a larger one will take more to spool.

hmm... what if it was a hybrid small turbine large compressor same results? and vise versa large turbine small comp

because the stock top mount on my rx7 can only with stand a certain psi becasue of heat and i was curios if that changed with diffrent turbo setups. i have a moddified turbo so i thought i could run more psi and just log IAT after the IC to see if the top mount can take it.

just asking on here for my other car because the one forum im on there aren't many friendly people.
