Hey Chasgood,
Finaly someone gets my [handle] Kubrik was a great man. bless his soul. Anyways your idea about wrapping the tubbing from turbo to intercooler is a great one. I was wondering where you got the foil heat shield. I have also seen, at the hardware store this foil wrap used for insulating water heaters. It has this insulating material sandwiched between two sheets of foil, about 1/4 inch thick.
Your right about needing to do something about the turbo, it seems so close to the carb and manifold and the amount of heat it must be generating must be incredible. I see that DC has put some shielding to seperate the turbo from the engine. What about another air duct coming from the port on the right. it could be directed towords the turbine side of the Turbo? I plan on getting a remote temperture guage soon so I can verify the temperature changes going on.
