Designed, driven and maintained properly, a turbo will not overheat. Cooling is provided by oil pressure primarily. As long as that is not interrupted the turbo will be fine. The materials in a turbo, like a jet engine, are selected for their ability to operate at high temperatures (perhaps 1300 degrees f).
Lack of oil, especially when the engine is cold (thick, slow moving oil) or during heat soak after shut down (when the turbo continues spinning for awhile) can cause a bearing/seal failure. Many turbos are now water cooled and/or have timed electric oil pumps (maintains oil pressure for 2 minutes after shutdown) to help with these issues.
Turbos combined with a supercharger are very rare, costly and difficult to engineer. They are typically configured so the supercharger handles low RPM power enhancement and at some higher the turbo provides the boost. This configuration provides no unique cooling requirements.

Are Detroit diesel 8v71ti intercooled or aftercooled?
8V71TI - 8 cylinders, 71 cu. in. per cylinder, T=turbo, I = intercooled. 8V71N - N = normally aspirated, no turbo, but all Detroit Diesels are/were supercharged 2-cycle diesels until the Series 60 models. The turbo models had turbos which blew thru the mechanical blowers, as an 8-71 supercharger. The intercoolers are between the turbos and the supercharger.
Which is better for towing power a turbocharger or a supercharger?
A turbocharger would be more better because you can get more power efficiently than superchargers.AnswerYes turbos are more efficient, but a supercharger will give more low RPM torque which can help a lot for towing, especially at low speeds.
