Default melting oem steel hoood...

hi. my turbo gets hots and is burning up the oem hood..
will a carbon fiber hood handle more heat?
im guessing a fiber glass hood would just be crappier?

Might want to check into a turbo blanket for it. This will keep the temps down under the hood and not burn your hood.
