VERY slightly, yes
But I've only been running it in the winter though, so I'll have to see how it does in the summer. I doubt it'll have any trouble with it though

I'm going to run mine like my friends 944. Porsche uses a seprate small electric water pump to pump coolant through the turbo. All you do is put a T inline with your top rad hose and a T in the bottom hose. Run the pump imbetween so the hot turbo water recirculates back through the radiator.
