A top mount design has nothing to do with cooling purposes or "cool" factor. It has to do with that fact that most every turbo runs a gravity feed oil return and for the most part an equal length design requires a top mount so the turbo sits above the oil pan.

Please get your facts right before you post. At no point do exhaust gases enter the intake. The intake air gets hot from being slung around the compressor wheel at 100,000+ rpm. Very little heat from the turbine side is actually bled to the compressor side. Don't believe me, get a hand-held temp gauge and messure the housings. On my car the turbine is around 800* and the center section is around 300*. The compressor reads around 200* along with the rest of my engine bay. Air temps going into the IC are around 180*.
