remember your turbo will run hotter and stay hotter longer....turbo timer up. its only a small increase but still. I'm water cooled so its not a huge issue but idk what your running. just a thought to put in there. I did a cheezy home depot status mod.... ran ducting that faces the turbo and manifold. Figure it doesn't take much air to just push the hot air outa the compartment. This way its a win win. I have a wireless temp guage but idk if it handles over 200degrees...if so i could do the before and after test and see how it works. Who knows, but i haven't had anything melt or nothing serious happen.

 

05TurboS2k; my turbo is water cooled too, i have a heat shiedl as you can see in the pic, i just need to cove the A/C lines...


so i should not have any issues?
