Default 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

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...
