My turbo puts off a butt-load of heat, and the brake fluid reservoir is located RIGHT next to it. I tried wrapping the reservoir in some heat wrap, but the plastic is still melting and the brake fluid actually bubbles. My next option would be to fabricate a heat shield to attach around the turbo, and/or move the reservoir further away. There is space in the back-right under the hood for it. Does anyone know where I can get a remote mount kit for this. I tried googling it, but the only hits I get are ebay items and I try not to put those under my hood.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. If the kit doesn't come with its own reservoir and cap, I'll have to get new ones too.

I run a vented fiberglass hood and don't have any problems. A heat shield should be enough though.

So, I just have to be able to cut and bend sheet metal?
