Heatwrap and side-effects such as longevity of turbos.
 

Fellas I wanted to lower the underhood temps in my car, the turbo sits right next to the brake master so i wrapped the turbo and downpipe in heatwrap. Thing is, now it doesnt tak emuch to get my exhaust housing reaaaal red. This never really happend much before. The 14b is only oil cooled, will I kill the damned thing prematurely? Id hate to have to spend another 5obux on a snail

is there any way for you to hook up the coolant line to be on the safe side ?

Its a tiny ass exhaust, the 2'5 goes in in a few weeks. I think ill hook up the coolant lines this week.

Tom, buy a moped, you obviously can't handle owning a turbo car.

Fix your EGT gauge, you dummy, and then you'll know if it's worth trying to fix or not.

I say we all just get marshmallows and sticks...

There are many and many of fellas here that have been here longer than you and I, I agree, I got put in my place and had to realize there are fuckers here that know more from time served not post count.

Nog, how are you controlling timing/fuel? Timing that is too retarded results in huge EGTs. If it's red, it's probably hot enough to coke oil.... Shouldn't have red exhaust unless you're really pushing the car.

My downpipe is wrapped too.. I haven't had good luck wrapping the turbos, but they do build turbo "blanket" kits.
At 1500+ degrees, you'll see a red snail housing and possibly manifold.. If you're lighting up your downpipe, I'd say you're real hot.

Egts are about 790C, timing map and fuel are controlled by megasquirt. The reason it gets red is cause of driving up the local mountain roads at part throttle. The DP doesnt glow only the turbo and mani.
