Honestly the best solution to this problem is to take out your exhaust
header and have it Jet Hot coated with Extreme Sterling to cut down the
temps under the bonnet. The Intake manifold sits right on top of the
exhaust header and the only way to effectively reduce temps in under the
bonnet is by doing this. It's a bit of a job, but if you drive in a hot
climate it is well worth it. It really makes a noticeable difference.
