I have exhaust wrap on my mani and dp and it does help but the turbo still radiates a good bit of heat. On my car I've burned through two brake master cylinder resivours because of the heat from the turbo, before I started to wrap things and add shields. Road racing is also the most taxing on all of your cooling systems and would build the most heat in the engine bay, so I've taken plenty of precautions in the terms of heat.

Oh, and be ready to look into a Koyo and an oil cooler.

If anyone needs custom oil coolers done contact me
yeah, the Z parts are expensive. I am sure my cousin and I could fab up something as well, but it is what it is. There are less expensive downpipes I'm sure, but not too many with open dumps. Cooling wise, I may look into some stuff later, but I really don't do round and round racing. More straight line for me. I have been wanting to try some auto-x/road racing though.
