just be careful that there is nothing sitting close enough that could be set on fire.
last thing you want to happen is for it to go up in a ball of fire after a run.

it has happened more often then anyone would care to think about.

i set the 13 and 14 on fire before getting the manifold and turbo to hot the turbo to intercooler samco was the cause the three times i set them on fire

[Alan B.]

i'm fairly sure you can get high temp resistant silicone hoses that might help you there?

yep becare noting hear the mani, as in pipes seen it happen in tullow

keep an eye on the coil pack driver incase it melts also

[mick]

they all glow lads, nothin to worry about, i bet if ya lookunder the bonnet of a jeep after a hard drive shed be glowin! means there happy

they all get a bit red, but to glow completely red isn't something that happens all the time.
only after a long run of hard driving.
and its fine normally but if you dont make sure nothing is hanging loose around the turbo, rubber hoses, steering rack boot, wiring loom etc, they can melt and start fires.

it's not something to be paranoid about but it's worth checking to make sure nothing is too close to it.
