I'm a pussy
 
Ok so next week I am going to embark on my drive down to Florida and I'm pretty nervous becuase my car is not intercooled. It's only a four hour drive from Atlanta but the temperatures are reaching close to mid 90's. Is there any advice on how to keep everything cool? I was thinking of placing the filter lower to the ground to get fresh air and hopping it doesnt rain :P Most of it will be highway driving so I will not be boosting which will cut down on the heat. Again its not intercooled but I'm only boosting 4 pounds right now with my setup soooo.....Any other suggestions? If I'm being a ----- hole just let me know, I'd rather know that I'm just over reacting.

If you are really nervous, pull the actuator rod off your waste gate, no boost no problem.
