Sorry to hear, like many others have said, the most likley cause was an oil leak.

I have taken lots of time to fill in the holes where the tuner kits have not been complete. One of these was relocate and protect all the things that could burn which included heat resistant sleaves, a turbo blanket and heat sheilds.

My next stetup with have Advanced Thermal Products inconel heat sheilds on everything. (Search for Sareks build for details)

I agree with this, still take all th precautions that you would take with any turbo car as even with an oil leak a fire will still be possible. I decided to go with Mase's kit and the ATP heatsheilding. I mounted an extra AIT sensor next to the battery/fusebox that lets me keep an eye on under hood temps near these two items.
