remove the rubber seal between the bulkhead and hood

turbo blanket, adjusted valves (yes, they emit a lot of heat if they dont shut or open properly), heat insulating the downpipe, aluminum radiator... Thats from top of my mind

 

[supraguru05]

it starts with finding the factory engine undercover that you most likely dont have

Don't remove the rubber seal unless you want to be running on 5 cylinders after every rainstorm and smell every little thing in your engine bay. The best way to manage heat is by insulating the downpipe, exhaust manifold, and turbo, as well as keeping the exhaust manifold heat shields in place. Other more creative ways include fabricating heat shields to isolate the exhaust manifold and turbo from nearby components (ABS, intake, etc)

Great answer.....ask me how I know. Now that said get a vented hood, and a turbo blanket. See my hoood in my avatar......it let's out tons of heat.

I learned this from experience as well....

turbo blanket helped my underhood temps alot! ceramic coating on the manifold and dp will help a whole lot.

another "minor" detail is, clean the engine! a dirty engine (covered in grease, oil, brake fluid, and Lord knows what else) is hotter than one thats cleaned up.

 

[daledoe]

Put washers under the hood bracket it raise the back of the hood

 

[spoolint78]

^^^ think that would have the same effect as removing the rubber seal.
I removed mine, and put it back on immediately

 

[xarewhyayen]

get the turbo hot side, exhaust manifold, elbow, and downpipe ceramic coated.

/thread.

Nope, Adam is correct

therma wrap the exhaust manifold and put a heat blanket on the hot side of the turbo. that should help alot.

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

my seal has been gone for 2 years... no problems for me whatsoever.

 

[kingsupra]

can you coat the hot side of a turbo or would that be a bad idea?

 

[noah89t]

don't use a coat, get a blanket:evil2:

all joking aside, sure you can have your turbine housing ceramic coated or Jet Hot coated. i had mine ceramic coated while it was getting a rebuild.

 

[JesseH]

to keep mine cooler Ive got the exhaust manifold, exhaust housing, and the downpipe ceramic coated, Ive also go two electric fans infront of the radiator where the AC condensor used to be for the extra hot days or when im beating on it.

so the washers dont work, also why did u put it back on?
can i please see the stock engine cover thingy

Coat all hot parts

Turbo beanie

ALL front plastics in place including the shroud and the car does the rest.
