      Controlling Underhood Heat on Turbocharged Cars

      Ok, from this thread in the archives (it's the New, Improved, Twin Turbo Mule thread from the old site), I gather that twin turbo cars have an.. issue with underhood heat, and to deal with it things like:



      stainless heat shields
      Header coatings/wraps
      heat shielded plug wires
      some sort of shield to protect power steering hoses
      additional oil capacity and oil cooling
      and the obvious upgrades to the cooling system..

      .. but what am I missing? Is there more that should really be done under the hood? Air ducts aimed at the turbos themselves (or is that a bad idea)? Anything else?
