Not quite true. Compressing the air in the turbo raises the temperature by a percentage based on the compression, and the intercooler cools it a percentage depending on it's efficiency and the outside air cooling the intercooler. Therefore the cooler the air is input to the turbo, the cooler it will be at all stages through the system.
