Sorry to not be of a whole lot of help but my installer is putting a turbo blanket on my turbo. I forget what the brand is but they are around 100 dollars. It should help out with underhood temps

I haven't had any serious heat issues, but I haven't pushed the car really hard either. Today I was in stop and go traffic for about 45 minutes and I checked the fuse box and it was very hot. We're going to try to fab up some sort of heat shield but the way we have it mounted doesn't give us much room. I'll keep this updated on the progress.

My installers had a few square feet of that material and they just cut it and put it on using metal wire to secure it. I can ask where to buy it if you'd like.
