So it appears my turbo is burning my under hood liner in the tC. Manifold is coated, everything else left stock. It appears to be under the down pipe.

Anyone have this problem or solutions??

I'm partially concerned about this catching on fire, so any easy to do ideas are definetly supported.

Side Note: Would adding a degree of timing(which reduces EGT's I believe??) help?

just get a turbo blanket. dezod has them for a good price, thats where i got mine.

I had this problem with my Dezod S1. Never got a turbo blanket or a heat sheild, just used a bit of tin-foil and stuck it to the hood liner with some RTV sealant. Worked perfectly for $0

Fair Enough.

Will get turbo blanket long term, will temp fix with RTV and foil.

It appears to be over the piping more then the turbo. Hard to tell though.

Edit: Does Dezod have a blanket for the greddy turbo? if not who would?

goto jegs.com and get the stick on heat shield. It looks like aluminum stuck to a pad but it's better than a burn mark. I gotta order a roll while I'm thinking about it.

Just rip the liner off - Fast,simple,effective, and best of all, FREE!

The tabs are designed to melt causing the liner to drop and smother a fire in the engine bay. I think i would keep it rather than the cost of burning the whole car down in a worst case senario

Thats like saying having if you have an alarm on your car it cant get stolen. Im sorry to say but if there is a fire in the engine bay, the hood liner is not going to stop it.

point being, it's at least something attempting to help.

umm he is worried it might catch fire, the hood liner is fire resistant, it was designed to stop fires they arent flammable and if it does catch it will put itself out. dont worry about it, or just take it off.

Personally I carry a fire extinguisher in my car, if a car catches its going down fast

this could help if you want to cover up an ugly burnt spot and keep it from burning again

Nice looking car.

PM me info on that "heat shield"

Right now I have a temp fix-high heat reflective tape. Took care of smell.

btw thats not my car, thats carlos's aka carlanga. I started making those things because of him, his manifold comes close to the hood and the kit normaly comes with a stick on gold foil but he got the kit used so no foil. I took one look and came up with an idea of cutting some aluminum sheet metal and polishing em up to help reflect some of that heat and help spread the heat instead of it concentration on one spot. It worked like a charm and looks good too.
