Re: under hood insulation
nope, I was considering it, but decided against it due to all the negative effects it could have.

Re: under hood insulation
What negative effects?
On my Sy I can drive around town, get on it good and go out and (being careful for sure not to touch the turbo its self) and touch the down pipe with the wrap on it and its hot but not burn your finger hot. Ask Maxtor where he got the wrap he used. It works for the heat in this truck.

Re: under hood insulation
I've heard stories about it causing excessive heat damage to the downpipe itself, and since the downpipes aren't cheap im not sure I wanted to risk it.
last fall I don't remember my truck running this hot, even last year in pittsburgh it wasn't running this hot, I know my IC pump is working, but the upper IC is hot as hell to the touch, it used to be cool to the touch..
I'm thinking im running lean, or maybe im just dreaming things up, eitherway im on vacation starting tomorrow, I'll worry about it when I get back. :tup:
I also found some insulation that DEI makes, I'm going to consider investing in that, I'd like to make a heatshield for the turbo/downpipe or coming up with another way to keep it a little cooler.
