Default ceramic coated tmic

I know this might sound a bit silly, but if the top mount was ceramic coated would it stop the heat soak up from the engine and turbo?

IMO if you are really concerned about heat soak fitting a good quality turbo blanket & having 2 motorcycle fans 1 attached to the bulkhead 1 to the underside of bonnet would give you a better read of engine bay temps

Most bike fans have a cradle wich screws into the rad it accompany 's
So it's jst 2 or 3 8mm or 10mm bolts usually depending on fan
Smaller engine bike / smaller fan - so the choice is yours
Wiring u can hard wire if your a electrician to either come on from ignition or a seperate circuit to come on at the flick of a switch
They are very efficient & weigh very little
Blankets there are many on the market the choice is yours
But check feedback b4 purchase , last thing you want is a cheap "0" catching fire

Regards

Depends on your budget and set up but a turbo blanket and FMIC is really the best choice

Or bulkhead behind turbo or makeshift brackets you can install any given angle
Like I said they are small & very light
