brake cylinder heat
#8
i bought some self-adhesive heat tape off of summit racing and wrapped the brake lines, the proportioning valve, the reservoir, the two heater hoses (important, they get pretty hot), and my oil supply line where it gets close to the downpipe.
So far so good. That combined with the Bowser heat shield gave me a lot more peace of mind.
P.S.: A little note about Summit Racing. I bought the $10 roll of heat tape from them. That is the only thing I've ever bought from them. Summit has lost so much money on me it's ridiculous, in the form of full-color catalogs mailed to my house once a week since my order. lol.

Go to homedepot and get some of that aluminum reflective tape. Its in the plumbing section. You could also get some of this http://www.heatshieldproducts.com/colored_sleeve.php

I currently have a combination of:
Raised the rear of the hood.
Cut vent holes above the turbo.
Ceramic coated downpipe.
Fiberglass under heat tape wrapped around everything.
... and finally **** isn't melting.
Good news though. You can melt through a brake master cylinder resivoir and not lose so much pressure you can't stop, after the first and second steam cloud of brake fluid chokes you.
