Hey guys,
i am trying to fab up my turbo manifold and i have seen pics of what people have done before. most people run their turbo's with the compressor housing facing the engine mount, and the downpipe close to the alternator.
my concern is that the downpipe EGTs can reach 1400*F. couldn't this kind of heat cause problems for the alternator?? i was thinking about running my turbo flipped around with the compressor side facing the alternator because of this. i don't want to be replacing alternators every year....
how much would exhaust heat wrap help? or ceramic coated downpipe??
The reason i ask is because there is more room to run the turbo with its downpipe facing the alternator, but i don't want to be causing any problems with the heat..
what is everyone elses experience with this??
Thanks!!
