Depends how close your turbo is to the hood. If you have any worries, tubro blankets and reasonable. you can also do a metal heat sheild on the turbo, or put a heat barrier against the hood itself.

Updating a few things, trying to make it flow a little better. Anything particular I can help with. Just click on the banner it will take you to the site at the turbo area.
