how hot does the outside of a turbo heat bag get?

Not too hot, you can touch it without getting burnt even if the exhaust housing inside is glowing red.

I have ended up with about an inch between the exhaust side of the turbo and the firewall.
Will the engineer freak out about this because I don't have my required centimetre and a half?
|
Are these specs for the same area? one inch = 25mm > 15mm

clubagreenie: sorry, think you misunderstood me. An inch (approx 25mm) is the room I have between the exhaust housing on the turbo and the firewall.
15mm is how much space I heard I have to have beteen the engine and the firewall to pass engineering (don't ask me where I heard it though).
I was worried that if I filled that one inch of space that I had with a turbo bag, I would not pass engineering.

take it off, get it engineered, then put it back on, thats if he doesnt like it, not really a problem considering its not a part that will stop movement, its a piece of cloth basically

With the amount of space I have to work with, taking it off is a day long job 
Anyways, here is the finished result. I'm happy with the heat protection, fingers crossed the engineer doesn't nail me for the space.
If I do get made to move it, I think I'm just going to recess the firewall. Less effort than re-positioning the motor and keeps the nicer weight distribution.
