All these little "anal" details make the difference. Even on my water and oil lines its all insulated with silicon jacketed hose insulators etc.

The difference is in hot ambient conditions you can just drive at low speed or stationary and not tax the shit out of the cooling system, the water temp and oil temp and pressure stays consistent and little is radiated back to the block or inlet manifold or cooling system parts, and you notice the BIG GAINS as ambient temperature is increased.

My car runs perfectly in 35 deg C ambient weather and climbing hills, most cant do this at all without over heating or generally shitting themselves. All those little bits of heat shields and insulation of pipes etc all needs to be done, and it is done on any good factory turbo instilation ............ its just after market leaves a bit to be desired and most resort to ghetto heat tape lol
