After removing all the heat shields to fit a downpipe i got thinking, wouldnt say,120mm 12v fans be better than heat shields, for the brake fluid area ?

cant see how pieces of metal plating help keep areas cool,if anythingm would of thought it would heat things up its around as the metal heats it heats whats its attached to,the brake fluid resrvoir etc ?

hmmm

wouldnt the fan just blow hot air onto the brake fluid making it even hotter?

The metal heatshield is meant to 'absorb' the heat and then gradually dissipate it. Whilst metal is not the best material it does the job that is intended.

If you think about the fans on your radiator which are set to come on to aid the cooling of water, imagine the amount of fans you would need to cool a turbo. It just dosent make sense, they would be on constantly

im not trying t ocool the turbo, thats impossible, to a degree, im on about mounting the fan on the stru area to blow air onto the brake reservoir to cool it,yes its warm air, but better than hot air
