Noticed this weekend that my car suffers with heatsoak on repeated runs up the strip quite badly, no joke, but the engine cover was so hot you couldnt touch it. Spoke to revo who said its to do witht he turbo being so high at the front of the engine bay, and the downpipe, in particular the cat section is literally millimetres away from the outlet pipe for the intercooler.
Ill bge getting an intercooler, but whilst im waiting for the fabia version to be available, i want to wrap my exhaust and intercooler pipes in heat relecting tape to try and keep as much heat out the engine bay as possible.
What do you guy reccomend for use on the exhaust, and for the intercooler pipe. presumably they will be different types of tape, ie exhaust tape keeps heat in, intercooler pipe tape will need to reflect the heat
