Turbo N/A temps
I just puchased a turboed N/A. I realize turbos create alot of heat but mine seems excesive. It has an oil cooler as well but after just going thru some gears boosting it creates so much heat it melts my whole engine bay down. Maybe turbo worn out?

Please give more details, such as "what" is melting down. A turbo creates tons of heat from the turbine, esp. unshielded. If rubber vaccum hoses, and electrical wires are close to this, yes they will melt. If the steel engine bay is melting, then yes you have problems.

lol yes vaccume hoses and electrical are the problems so far, but my hood has no insulation and seems scary hot when I stop. Engine is heating up if I boost now as well.

If it's melting stuff, you either need a heat shield, or you need to fix whatever's wrong with the cooling system.
Get an aftermarket coolant temp gauge for starters, to find out JUST how hot it is.
Are you sure the turbo is getting coolant?
