Well first some heat insulation, plus it keeps the rust away...which sucks if you have to service the turbo. Also looks much better

I put a "turbine boot" on my rx7 (an isulated sock like thing). my intake air temp. went down along with my underhood temp. After driving the car around town I could put my hand right on the sock without getting burned. worked pretty well, and I don't think they cost a whole lot.
