    Manifold melted intercooler coupler...HELP!!!

    The aftermarket manifold that is on my 2 has melted a silicone hose for the turbo outlet to intercooler pipe. I have already custom made my intercooler piping to try to alleviate the problem. the issue I see is that the manifold is to close to the turbo outlet. does anyone have any suggestions or examples of how to fix this issue. Thanks

    wrap the manifold with exhaust wrap at least on the offending pipe. try and fit a small heatshield / cut ally piece, inbetween the two items. i am sure someone has an example of a wrapped manifold ..
