Subject:engine temps sightly OT, was Fiberglass Taped Exhaust

This talk about exhuast and by extension engine compartment temps reminds me
of an article i just read in Road and Track (comparing Boxster S, Z3, Honda
2000, Audi TT).

It seems that the TT has a temp sensor connected to the ECU that measures
engine temp and allows the ECU to back off turbo boost pressure wehn the
temp gets too high.

Maybe useful info for those inclined to install the 1.8 turbo in a van -
single or biturbo ;)
