So heres the deal. I installed my IP turbo kit approx 3 weeks ago and have noticed some white buildup on my manifold. The pictures will likely explain it better than I can. Basically im wondering what it might be and if its something I should be concerned about.

TIA!

 

I notice that dusty buildup on my nuts and bolts around my turbo. I'm not sure what it is but I know the heat has something to do with it.

 

Heat, nothing to worry about.

 

I wouldnt be worried about it, mine is kind of orange like a rust color.

 

Did you experience the heat from the manifold to affect any of the surrounding components such as hoses, pipes, plastics, painted metal?

 

My only problem was the one brake line that runs right next to the manifold. I just wrapped a little thermal heat wrap around it and it has been fine since

 

To date I have not noticed anything affected. Everything looks good as gold, other than the random white residue all over the manifold

 

To note: I have the same exact turbo set-up as the OP but have no white build up at all after 7 months of turbo love.

 

What temps are the manifold reaching from normal driving and harder driving?

 

Water temps are normal, I have no idea on the manifold temps
