[QUOTE="D.T.R, post: 14251231, member: 130214"] 2 things most likely happened based on your experiences with turbos: 1 - You or whoever installed these turbo kits must not be very familiar with them, and quite possibly did not install some of the parts properly. 2 - Some of the parts chosen for your turbo setups may not have been of a decent quality. Either 1 or 2, or both combine will make for a horrible turbo experience. That applies to any power adder actually. We have had the turbos on the green car for 3k miles so far. I kid you not, there has been ZERO maintenance related to the turbo setup. I have absolutely no worries or concerns.. the car sits in the garage all week at times and i get in and fire it up and drive off like when it was stock. The car acts and behaves like stock while you off boost of course. If you take the precautions to ceramic coat and or heat wrap stuff, heat is really not a concern, it has never been in any of my turbo cars. You just need to be aware that all the components on the hot side WILL reach 4-digit temperatures even while cruising... so it would be smart to keep things away from it AND heat wrap as much as possible. Although the heat from a turbo setup is no joke, I'd be more concerned with the head of a head unit on a PD/centri blower setup heating up so much to where the IATs are ridiculously high. That to me, is more of a concern than the heat produced by turbos. [/QUOTE]
