Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 358779, member: 3825"] Good news. I found another 2 inches or so of height under the hood. I've been measuring everything by putting a stick across the fenders when the hood is up and eyeballing things from the top of the fenders. It turns out that the 08 hood bulges up about 2 inches from the fenderline across most of the engine bay. I totally overlooked that. I can now probably keep the stock 6.7 valve cover and I can also reposition the turbo a bit, closer to the engine and up a bit. How much clearance do you think I need between the turbo turbine and the underside of the hood ? WIth or without insulation and/or heat shields ? I don't want to burn the hood paint ! Some turbos seem to be running very close to (plastic) heater boxes with no apparent bad effects. A hood should be pretty durable and forgiving ???? I really wish I had a CAD model for an HE351 turbo. It would make life a lot easier. [/QUOTE]
