	I just did a drive, to pick my girlfriend up from past Taree (from Sydney), 4hrs each way all highway - between 100-120kms/hr.  I noticed that sometimes on the way back (after about 5hrs of driving) my car's temperature (MA70 turbo) rose a little, and sometimes rose a bit more than a little, which if I put it in neutral and coasted till the speed dropped about 10kms then went back on fixed. This would happen about every half hour, until I got onto the main streets of sydney and the traffic lights.
  I was wondering is this a form of Heat Soak?  The turbo is a T04E and although it wasn't in boost most of the time, it was still spinning.
  I'm getting a Davies Craig thermo fan (DC31 or DC16), and installing it this weekend to see if that does anything, but was also going to get a Turbo Sock (from GCG turbos).  Has anyone got one of these?  Do they work?  Noticably? I might pick one up on the way home tonight, if they're still open at 6pm.
