    I also had heat issues on my EG and have deformed 2 wiper cowlings now .I had my turbo manifold and dump tubes and down pipe ceramic coated and heat wrapped all of them it has really helped with heat in the bay though it still gets hot its not anywhere near as bad as it was .I have also heard the possibilities of manifolds cracking ect but the heat was imo more dangerous than not doing anything .Heat wrap your manifold ,dumptube, downpipe ,ect.. install turbo blanket ,and wrap as much as you can with heat shield it helps .I am also gonna look into that stuff that goes on the fire wall to protect the firewall / inside of the car from getting warm after a big pull .Its not as big of a deal in the winter as it's my source of heat haha but dam it aint much fun when its 90 degrees out

    Lol @ your "heater". I'm in the same boat. The colder it is, the more I boost. Lol

    I actually wish I had never deleted my heat and may re install it this winter as I still have everything .The turbo manifold does work though just mash it a few times with windows up and the car warms up pretty nicely inside haha

    Haha. I'd have changeable temp settings, but the little mount that holds the wire in place, broke. So I need to ziptie that thing to keep it from moving
