that is a very common misconception...the heat transfered from the exaust side of the turbo to the compressor is negligible compared to the exothermic effect caused by the air compression


and an intercooler on an NA car would make sense only if your air intake would be in some ridiculously hot area.
But since any decent air intake will bring in air at the ambient temp and the intercooler can only cool the intake charge down to ambient temperature it makes no sense to have one
Not to mention the airflow problems an intercooler causes
