Just installed AGP wastegate and have a ?
Alright I own a 2005 acr srt4 with a occ, sri, plugs and wires, doggy bones, sts, and booger bushings and now the agp wastegate. The installation went well cause I did it with a buddy and both of us are not mechanics so i was wondering if it was normal that the heat shield was getting so hot, to the point of smoking, after running the car for 5 min. but running it hard to test how much boost I was holding. I held 15 psi, if that is relevant, and my check engine light came on which I think is for the most part suppose to.
Plz let me know, Thanks!!

Would the smoke come because the heat shield was not on right and was touching the, i think the exhaust manifold or what ever the heatshield covers? maybe it was burning the heat shield??? or are you saying that it is not normal for it 2 get that hot?

i didnt cut the heat shield i just bent it and yes i actually used wd-40 and i remember, now that you mentioned it, that i sprayed a little to much on one bolt and it prob. dripped on the exhaust manifold. i mean its hot enough that you cant have your hand an inch. away from it but isnt that just normal? it is also like 75-80 degrees here.?
