I have installed a new Borgeson box and pump setup and a decent sized cooler. When the engine is cold and warming up, everything works great and it has great feel, but after a little driving the steering is tough to turn at a stop but easy while in motion. I figured this was due to heat, so I added a 2nd cooler and the problem is still happening.
Does anyone make a heat shield or heat wraps for the lines that might help keep the pump/lines cool? I have a feeling the headers(TTi) are heat soaking the pump or box causing the hard steering. I think my other issue is that I'm running the stock hood which has no ventilation and the whole engine just heat soaks. I'm running the Sniper EFI and intake air temps are always super high relative to ambient. Maybe a six pack hood would help? The car is not undrivable but it's annoying that this is happening after making this nice upgrade. Also running the QA1 front end kit.
