So the exhaust is fitted up and looking great. One thing though. The mechanic said he couldn't refit the heatshield as the probe for the EGT gauge is now in the way.

I stuck my hand down there after a 30 min drive and yep, it gets hot down there. What have others done here? There's that exhaust wrap stuff, I was thinking of wrapping that around the heater hoses as they are pretty close to the turbo. Does that stuff work backwards like that??

I was hoping to rig up some ducting from the front and point it at the area, but I'm not sure I'll be able to do that, there's not a lot of room.
