Once I let the car cool down under the hood, everything was back to normal….<br /><br />Your right all the hot turbo part are really close to sensitive things like, power steering, A/C, and brake stuff.<br /><br />The oil (160) and water temp (170) where all normal it just that the turbo heat was affecting the brake reservoir. Some heat shielding should take care of the problem. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>S-281</b> <br /><small>Member # 2188</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,8,2,14,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Hey DropTopFox,<br /><br />Sorry, not yet, I am not planning on bumping the boost nor the timing for the moment.
