Default How close is your downpipe to the radiator?!

Hey guys, I was looking to find some pics of driverside compressor mounted turbo setups and the distance between the downpipe and the radiator. Thanks in advance.

Maybe half an inch.

I had a problem overheating, wrapped the DP in heatwrap and it's been perfect since.

I know this may be from right field. But could you use some regular insulation and pack it between the radiator and the dp?? Just an idea.
