Hot.......
« on: 19 March 2013, 07:12 »
Hi all,

Strange one this, since having my stage 2 done and driving "quick" the amount of heat that enters the cabin is unreal it's like the blowers are on.

So question is, does anyone else's do this?
Everything else is fine, coolant, oil, temp sender all fine and no fault codes, inlet manifold cold to touch, just seems weird, I know it's going to get hot because of the power but surely something is amiss ?????

Is all your heat shielding still on around your turbo, downpipe and exhaust?

I'd suggest adding some more heat shielding around the area of the manifold
