Running hot? Tell me if this is normal
I opened up the hood today, and when I reached for the rod to prop the hood up,
it nearly burned me.
This has never happened to me before. Last night, I put in a condenser fan
so I can run A/C again (works great now without overheating).. Would it be because the condensor fan now blows alot of hot air into the driver's side of the
engine bay? My temperature meter tells me that I'm running much cooler than usual, especially with the a/c on.. It doesn't matter that the enginebay is hot..
or does it?

really doesnt matter if the engine bay is hot justmatters if hte engine internals are overheating.. the hot engine bay does affect performance if you have a hot filter under the hood.

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.
I have the stage two as well and it took me some time to get used to all the extra heat (both in the engine bay and the cabin).
It's a small price to pay for all that torque
You enjoying the turbo?

My engine bay is scorching hot after driving, too, but the coolant temp is no hotter so no worries here.
