944 turbo at work.................
This was taken during a rolling road session us guys had.
Every time I get on boost, my manifold looks like that looks! In fact during 3 laps of the ring it looks like that for 27 mins!

Would wrapping that be a good idea to reduce engine bay temperatures?

It's also the reason that a lot of '44 Turbos have new starter motors....the starter motor is directly under the exhaust.
