I've recently noticed that my ac line (right behind the ic near the turbo side) looks charred/burned. There's some bubbles on the metal which looks to me like it is being exposed to some extreme heat. Is this normal? Does anyone else have this? I've installed a turbo back exhaust, but I still have the stock heatshield, although it had to be trimmed a little to fit. Of course, the dp is fully exposed. Could excess heat be rising, and causing such a high temp that the ac line is being boiled? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

 

i really don't think so
you sure its not paint to protect against the heat?
does your a/c still work?

 

Heck, who knows? It might be the paint... Yeah, my ac still works fine. I'm just paranoid that I'll develop a burned-out hole one day. Although, there's nothing hot enough (that's close enough) to cause the ac line to get burned through, right?
