JeepLab Prodigy Install LIVE

Turbo guys, and everyone else. What are you doing to keep your temps under the hood down? Ive got the poison spyder hood louver, turbo blanket, and Im going to wrap the turbo exhaust pipe this weekend with DEI Lava wraps. Ive noticed its really hot under my hood. Yes of course because of the turbo and the piping, but i thought the hood louver would reduced the temps more. It does a pretty good job, i can see the heat waves coming out from the vents. But Im still noticing a lot of heat even with the blanket and the louver. It also doesnt help that i live in New Orleans and its super humid down here. Let me know what you guys are doing or if you have any other suggestions.

someone here was complaining that they thought their jeep was running hot.

Here is a picture of the recovery tank.. They installed in pretty close to ether the stock tank was located, just off to the left some (our left). If you follow the over flow hose you can see the black tank right behind the fan shroud. I'll get a pic of the the boost sensor install. I just need to know what I'm looking for?? Lol.

I have the metalcloak aluminum fender liners that replaced the plastic stock liners. They allow much more air movement within the engine compartment and through the engine compartment without really exposing the engine compartment to additional mud and grime when wheeling (to my surprise).

My hood is also fiberglass/carbon fiber with a scoop. I feel it really forces the air into the engine compartment and (maybe) down and out the fender wells.

That being said, the engine compartment is very warm when not moving. It doesn't affect engine temps but its enough to throw off my outside air temperature sensor while standing still. It will read hotter than the weather until I get moving again for a bit. No biggie.
