The turbocharger is a gas turbine.

Its easier... also the air density is greater from an sts system so it compensates for the lower thermal energy at the turbine. Plus heat isn't in your engine bay.

Removing the turbo from its heat source makes it function more like a very inefficient air tool.
Dencer exhaust going through the turbine housing doesn't compensate for anything. Less heat is lower energy which gives you less power to be had.
Over all drive pressure is something you don't want. Extracting work through differential temperature is how the engineers figure it.
There are better ways to deal with under hood temperature problems than adding more piping for the intake and a lengthy run of pipe containing drive pressure.

The established way of doing it works great for me, I see no need to try and reinvent the wheel.
