      I have a new DSE pump and steering box and after 20 miles I can blister my skin if I brush against a braided line fitting

      I don't know if that's normal though.

      The high pressure line is teflon lines braided SS.

      I used to have that problem on my track car. I would do a 20 minutes of hot laps and the power steering fluid would boil over. So I went out and bought underdrive pullies and the problem was gone. See about getting a set of underdrive for your car.
