Yeah, but the air gap is not open at the ends, so it just sits. So if you're in heavy traffic, it's almost as bad as not having it at all. Heat-wrapping it would be a good solution however.

I don't recall there being a heat shield between the turbo and the intake manifold, that's what I meant, that and putting a turbo only a couple inches from the block is just a bad idea in my books. I don't understand how they managed to make the engine bay so damn tight on these things.
