Rubber coolant hose and downpipe on 2200
Friday, September 08, 2006 6:29 PM
Is anyone doing anything on their 2200 about the fact that there is a rubber coolant line from the thermostat housing running right next to their turbo downpipe?? Are you using a heat shield of some sort or just wrapping the downpipe in header wrap??

I wrapped my Eco heater hoses lines with a header wrap from DEI and then with heat-reflective silver tape and its holding up well.

I cheated...fabbed a polished SS tube to re-route mine around the turbo and close to the fan.
