What kit do you have? I have Esmeril and I use boost logic turbo blanket. It will help with reducing temp under the hood by a lot. It cool enough that you can rest your hand on the blanket after a drive. Just make sure you let the car cool down before you shut it off because the blanket hold heat and it takes longer for turbo to cool down.

Other than that wrap hoses in the area with heat insulating tapes as much as you can.

have a read of this . It is Greddy's way of making their turbo work with our motor .
Beneficial for the stock Greddy IMO
