Correct - no point as I have a pretty good understanding.
Starting with hot air at the inlet certainly helps with higher output temps... especially when inlet air temp exceeds efficiency curve for output air temp of the pump (under normal conditions/ambient).
I do understand compression heating... I built my first intercooled forced induction car 15yrs ago.
