If you have a few psi of boost at cruise with an engine that is needing to only produce 15 or so hp, there will be only a mild heating of the intake air by the turbo compressor. Couple this with homogeneous lean burn and you will not have to worry about damaging temperatures. Of course, you will have to find some way to change your parameters once you leave light cruise and start demanding more power from the engine.
