popcharger question

so today, after a good drive, nothing to harsh or anything, just alot of freeway driving from HIN to SF. I pop open the hood and touched my popcharger. Its really hot..., back when i first got it, it use to be cold when i touched it. now its not...

I also no longer have the whistling sound when i accelerate. Does that mean its time for a good cleaning?

its hot because its in your engine bay, and plus you drove for about an hour. Does it look dirty? it doesnt hurt to clean it.

the dirtier it is, the worst your gas mileage will be as well.
