Another DIY Twin Turbo kit (COMP oil-less turbos)

couldn't the turbos get really hot if the plate/shield is blocking air flow passing on the turbos?

On a top mount kit the turbo doesnt have any air blowing by it and its sitting in the hot engine bay.

Most twins for this platform (Z34) have the snails coming off the headers right next to the motor. *Think between the strut towers and the motor block.



*this is just an approximate area and not exact. It will give you a good idea where most twins are mounted.
