Exaust heat problems
So, my exaust from my turbo is creating massive smoking inside the cab, the insulation inside the firewall is too hot too touch. Who makes a lace up insulated boot that I can slide down behind it to stop this?

I will call some diesel shops tomorrow and see if anyone has one I can work in there.

Are you seeing a decrease in boost or performance in correlation with the exhaust issue?
If so, the manifolds, up-pipes, collector or turbo are suspect.
If not, then down pipe and exhaust are suspect.
This is not definitive, but little clues you can observe.

runs like a raped ape, hauling a heavy slide in camper. This happened last trip, and it was running empty, so not load related. Waste gate?

Related to your original request, I used this to wrap my uppipes and downpipe. SunplusTrade 2" x 50' Black Exhaust Heat Wrap Roll for Motorcycle Fiberglass Heat Shield Tape with Stainless Ties
Others have installed a blanket on the turbo but I have no info on that aspect.
I still feel something is amiss if you are seeing that much heat in the cab.

Running a heavy tune? I haul a 13k 5th wheel with stock injectors and have to limit my tune to 25 extra HP or the EGTs go into the red.

Something is not right...
Like Jason, I installed some heat wrap on my up-pipes and down pipe when I installed the T4 kit. From what we have seen, the turbo blankets are not a good idea unless you get the $300+ version and even then may be somewhat underwhelming. I am not an engineer, so take my thoughts and advice for what they are.
Like Jason again, I feel something is not right, but everything we are thinking of or mentioning is coming up as a dead lead.
