Cooling the engine bay...

Cooling the engine bay...
As many of you boosted guys know, putting turbo in your honda will make your engine bay temperatures skyrocket to kingdom "***".
My question to you guys is what are your suggestions in keeping the engine bay cool...?
The things I've seen done are as follows:
1) Wrap header, downpipe, etc with the heat wrap
2) DIY fast and the furious style holes on the OEM hood
3) New CF hoods with some holes already fabricated in
4) Raising the back part of the hood like an inch so more air can get through the engine bay.
5) No HOOD.
I'm just trying to find an economical way of cooling my engine bay down. I'm probably going to be wrapping the downpipe and parts to keep it a tad cooler...
Any ideas? Or what you've done?

I would go for the raising of the back hood, it's the least rice/most HMT approach to your solution.

I also have part of the rear water seal removed from the engine bay ( I left a little around map sensors ).
