Do you have all your heat shields in place? Turbo blanket?

Some people do it. Its going to get hot being under there tho pretty much no matter what esp with a stock 7m manifold.

do a 1300 degrees cermachrome coating on your parts looks very nice and works

i have the heat shield over the turbo, no blanket. would the coating keep alot of the heat off the piping?

IndyMK3 has it on his. We did some nice pulls (18psi) for about an hour. Got our the car and you could grab the section he wrapped with the car still running. I recommend wrapping it. We also used a temp gun on it, hottest point on it (above turbo) was 90*F.

What kind of wrap should i use? There are alot of different kinds out there

He just got the wrap from Advanced auto. Something like exhaust insulating wrap. Advanced Auto Parts, Napa, or Autozone should have it.
