The only real major issue with the turbo I've had is - heat. It's a simple formula - you take a "high performance" engine then turbo it - with more air and fuel and you get lots of heat. The CRX engine compartment area does not flow much air though it so I've run into problems. I don't have problems with the engine over heating - the engine block temperature has remained the same as before the turbo, but the ambient temperature has increased. I am investigating having all the components heat coated to reduce the heat by about 40-50% but the folks at http://www.hpcoatings.com - the prices are as follows: For the E13 coating - will drop skin temperatures about 25%. This is a black only finish:
