@Boosted92LX why so much heat????
Dang that's some serious heat!! Doesn't even seem practical at that point to have a turbo if you can't beat on it without risking burning your car down to the ground. I haven't seen your car in a while to know what hood you have but would a ram air hood help the temps a bit under the hood instead of a cowl?Have you never seen video of turbo exhaust? It glows bright red, man. It generates an enormous amount of heat. Nature of the beast.

Or, you could cut two big, gi honkin holes on top of your hood, and two smaller holes at the back to allow air in and out, knowing that there is a red hot, 6 legged chunk of steel directly beneath the sheet metal.Well, a lot of ppl run stock hoods, as do I. I need to go back and wrap the remainder of my piping, which should help. I've looked into misc hood vents, ie gt 500, coyote gt... but I hate to chop on my hood.

Then spend countless hours building the scoops, blend them in with body filler, cut one off, build a new one, blend it back in, cut them both back off,.......blah, blah, blah.
Just thinkin out loud here.
Did you upset this guy? He likes to nuke coffee cups too. I think he's to blame!
Welp, I got the header loose and gasket out.
Percy's blowout proof gasket my ass.
It's a .96 a/r 75mm. I don't think it's too much back pressure. We're going with the rtv. That should fix it.
Did the copper rtv solve your problem? Any effect on the O2 sensors? I've got my headers off right now to install motor mounts and want to stop them from leaking when I reinstall.
