Yea it may but not drastically. Does it over heat? How much of the overheat gauge is reading?
Turbo motors are known to be a little more on the hotside. Also are you using a stock radiator, if so swap that out and get a fluidyne.

It shouldn't overheat unless your cooling system is jacked up. I have an 88 and it only overheated when something wasn't working right. Check fan, thermostat, coolant, radiator cap, and radiator for any faults.
