Hey,

Just wanted to ask if this is normal. My engine bay gets pretty hot, I think the heat is coming from mainly the turbo side.

I have just recently installed my highflow turbo and now just for short 10-15min drives(revs kept under 3000rpm) the turbo side of the engine bay gets very very hot.

Is this normal?

I remember when driving normal before with the stock turbo, it would normally be hot, as usual but not this hot though.

I am worried once I install my boost controller and up the boost I could damage something because of the high heat.

Any suggestions?

Actually no the heat shield isn't on.

I can't put it on because of the custom dump.

But I never had it on with the stock turbo before and it was never this hot.

Has anyone had these issues with highflows or aftermarket turbo's?

Oh so it is normal. Even for a short 10 minute drive down the road?

Should I figureout a way to install the heatshield on?

Or it will be fine the way it is with the heat?

Damn then I guess how hot will it be when the boost is set to 12psi? Worried of cooking any of the electrical parts in the engine bay
