omg, someone posting data . Bravo.I thought I'd share some thermal imaging to graphically explain why this is sound advise. The heat from the turbo needs to be dealt with; in some way.
The following is a thermal image of a coated PRL Titanium Inlet Pipe after a spirited drive. The hour glass shape is from the turbo dumping so much heat.
Honda even knew the area needed to be cooled. This hole in the hood is directly over the electronic wastegate actuator and it's likely the purpose is to cool the wastegate electronics.
