mine used to do this, even after driving for 5 mins. I was advised to change the maf, so I did, and it was much better as I could even touch the manifold, where as before it used to go so hot.

Can someone explain how changing a MAF would make the engine cooler,  the cold air from the MAF just goes into the TIP and then turbo ................   :huh:

Looking into changing the MAF anyway as i've got flat spots here there and everywhere!

I'm not telling you what to do but... why?
Have you done any investigation to see if the MAF actually needs changing?
