Yeah I'm more concerned about hot spots on the engine more than performance. A big reason for gasket failure is hot spots I've read. Also, everything else close would be more subject to melting.

I'd still grab all of it. Ceramic coat and bag em. Especially considering the location of the turbos. This isn't just FI's kit either, most the kits out there have the turbo running just off the manifold but the Z turbos are a bit tucked away under everything, giving me more reason to grab a bag.
