Default Why do turbo intakes sit in hot air?

n00b question:

How come the turbo air intakes are usually sitting high in the engine bay, about where a short ram usually sits? Wouldn't that mean it's sucking in hot engine air as well? How come they don't design the turbo intake to suck from the cold air fender?
