I'm a little worried with how close my turbo is to my break cyclinder. More specifically, the lines coming from the side. Anybody ever hear of anyone boiling the fluid in these lines and loosing pedal?

Yes. Might look into turbine heat shields and heat wrap to protect the master cylinder and brake lines. Don't forget the plastic reservior which can melt as well.

you can go to a kragens, napa or autozone and they have this exhaust system repair kit that can stand up to 2300 degrees of heat. it cost like 6 bucks

I have my MC wrapped in header wrap and then have a piece of 5" stove pipe around it with a .5 inch gap inside so MC should be good.

Will simply wrapping the lines and most of the turbine be enough?

I made a heat shield Out of thin sheet metal, I used the BMC bolts and one of the bolts that used to hold the coil to hold it on and I have never had a problem.
