In the same way that you want to cool the charge air to the engine (FMIC/manifold insulators etc) you need to keep the exhaust charge as hot as possible before it reaches the turbo. Heat is energy.
Some scientific bod will be along shortly to tell you exactly how much power you will lose per degree C drop in temp. Probably not a fantastic amount but every little helps
