i just rebuilt my turbo and it seems like my compressor is running hotter. i cant remember for sure, but i though i was able to touch it for a few seconds before it got to hot. now i can harldy get near it, or it might just be the weather over here. what do yall think? how hot does your compressor get?

 

all compressor are going to get hot. Dont worry about thats why we have intercooler.

 

also my pipe going into my TB is hot as hell in traffic do yall use any kind of thermal wrap? if so what kind and how much is it?

 

dont worry about it you dont boost in idle.

 

i know that but when it gets hot the car runs like ****. feels like i am only boosting 3lbs insted of 5

 

Ditto...

 

no one is using any heat wrap?

 

no ****, this same thing happens to my car, the thing feels soooo slow. someone help.

 

we need to set up some kind of group buy on heat wrap!!

 

Most people steer clear of heat wrap because it traps moisture on the pipe and accelerates rust. Especially in the less-temperate climates.

It usually doesn't look real cool either. Yeah right.
