Well ive been out testing the new turbo and ive been trying to track down this burning rubber smell. After about 45 mins i found out my aircon hose is getting really hot from the turbo and melting. Mind you i dont have either of the two heat shields installed yet, so it may make a difference. Has anyone else come across this problem.

Heat shields are there for a reason buddy.

burning rubber? take your foot off the gas mate Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

mate, a handfull of engineers sat there for months designing these cars and u guys just come along and change ****. everything is there for a reason.

Nah i was just too lazy to refit them after i got the respray done. I was forced to put them back on.

I also think that the aircon hoses have their own type of heatsheild around the hose? Might want to invest in some foil type heat shielding around the aircon hose if it doesnt - ive seen many factory cars with silver loom tube stuff. Hows the car going now? nearly on the road??
