6th, can see them not scoring a point in the fist 3/4 races and as the updates come they will start challenging for points but by then Merc / williams / Ferrari /Red Bull will be well out with toro rosso in 5th.
Sauber will run out of money as will Force India and will be overtaken by Mclaren somewhere around Monza.
Marrussia will enjoy another fruitless season if they even race
You didn't mention Lotus, who will also be having money problems. Already are.Sauber will run out of money as will Force India and will be overtaken by Mclaren somewhere around Monza.

You don't try and run turbo's hot. quite the opposite, you want them to produce the required airflow with the least amount of heat being generated into the charge air.
Based on the limited information out there, it suggests the turbo design either has too small an exhaust housing flow rate to get the combustion gasses out, or has too small a compressor housing capacity, so it cant get the required airflow into the engine in an efficient manner, generating more charge air temperature and requiring a higher boost level to obtain the same airflow as a more efficient compressor.
It's very easy to build an out of balance turbo that can flow the inlet air, but cant let the resultant exhaust gasses out, and vice versa. Designing the balance right is not at all easy, there are compromises to be made at both ends, although this is somewhat mitigated now with the use of electrical assistance on the spool up stage, which enables a larger flow rate to be achieved with relatively less lag compared to a none assisted turbo.
