Default Lowering engine bay temps...

What things can I do to lower my engine bay temps, I find that they are much higher than when I was NA.
I'm running a t3 63/60 at 8psi. I am using a slim fan puller fan for the rad and a slim pusher for my a/c. I also wrapped my ac lines with DEI cool tape and wrapped my downpipe with DEI thermal wrap.

What else can I do? Should I make a heathshield for the manifold? Should I get some headerwrap for the manifold? Any other tips?
Thanks!!

I thought about that, but I don't want to change the look at all, plus I'd be afraid of extra water and crap getting in there.

What about the dei turbo insulator?

What is everyone else doing, I find its so hot, I can't even touch the dipstick to check my oil after I drive!

You can Jet Hot coat your Manifold, Turbine Housing, and DP. It does help alot. I only got my Mani coated with the Jet-Hot 2000 coat. Looks good, rust free, and cooler under hood temps.

Also, my hood has being raised up with washers.

What ever you do, do not get hood vents. They will make your underhood rust.

Hope this helps.
