i have a b18 with a t3t4 57 trim .63 ar log manifold 2.5in all the way intake piping
2.5 in dp and 2.5 in exhaust at times it pulls very hard and at other times when i have been driving i for a half hour it gets a lot slower
my engine bay seems very hot yes i know its turboed so it will get hot but this almost seems too hot i dont over heat no sign of cracked head gasket .89 volts all the way accross
any advice would be nice

Say hello to heat soak. Its the same reason your car feels much faster in cold weather.

Things to try:
Get your manifold ceramic/etc. coated. It will help spool, as well as keep temps down.
Vented hood, especially if you live in a hotter area.
Is your intercooler large enough for your setup?
