TN Installed - I could fry an egg on my hood
Okay first of all I installed the TN kit .. and just the TN kit without any extras
my temperature is ok, but my hood is hot as hell
I know the turbo gets very hot but should I be worried? , do I need to do some additional heatshield protection?

don't listen to Rob, he drives like a weenie.
wrap the exhaust pipes and don't worry bout the heat....it's gonna happen
Or, buy a turbo blanket kit from summit and wrap the hell outta the turbine side...or like he said a vented hood, but none of that is really necessary, I'd just say DEFINITELY header wrap all the exhaust piping.

If you're worried about damaging the paint on your hood, don't worry it won't happen.
+1 on the vented hood. With my hood and heat wrap/coating I'd guess my engine bay is just as cool (if not moreso) than stock.

Turbo Heat Wrap
Where do you buy the exhaust pipe wrap. It looks like you bought muffler repair wrap. The kind that you wind around a leaking muffler can. Is this actually going to keep the heat off of other components?
