Yo, you might wanna try routing your water hoses below the turbo, mate... I've had no dramas with this setup yet...
Image

The banjos have a couple of inches of pipe left sticking off em; I got the ends flared and just clamped on the same hose you've got happening, but it's tucked right away, and looks pretty tidy too. One of my hoses goes past the dump pipe, but it's threaded behind the little brace for the exhaust manifold, and seems to be doing okay; it might not need shielding... but I do seem to notice a short-lived temperature spike immediately following a bit of full boost, so the shielding would prolly help. Anyway, I notice both your hoses run to the car's left, so they should be fine, once you get em out of all that convection...

You might wanna give it a crack, the next time you've got your turbo off

i havn't had a problem since since i used quality hose with that artery looking cover shit!!

besides your exaust housing is nice and new and looks good,for now...
where as mine is about 15-17 years old and looks kinda nasty in rusty brown......iv'e still got the artery on there but have since used braided lines...looks good and hides the exaust housing
