Does anyone else with the fmax kit have problems with their power steering? When i first start up my car it seems ok but then when i get going it starts making funny noises when i turn the wheel. Im assuming that since the power steering fluid sits so close to the hotpipe that it is getting heated up by the pipe. is there anything i can do about this or is this not even the problem?

Ah…Heat shield…

Go to any hardware store and buy a large sheet of stainless steel to cover the turbine and mani.

You’ll need to bend it and get some L brackets it pretty easy to do.
