If you give it more "throttle", nothing happens. If it is underboosted, no more air is fed to the engine and therefore no more fuel is fed to the engine.

Brian is correct. And don't forget to differentiate between "normal" temperatures, and "dangerous" temps. The TSB from Mercedes, linked to earlier in the thread, indicates 110C
is abnormal.
