Default Soon to be boosted with Turbonetics (some questions)

My turbonetics kit should be in by the end of the week but I had one concern about the fitment of the wastegate. With the evolution wastegate positioned vertically, has anyone had any problems with the insulation under the hood burning, and/or actual paint problems on the hood because of its close proximity?

So far I have only seen one person have an issue with that and he seems to be a unique case.

I have a custom kit the one that PSI Racing did my wastegate is right near the hood it did and not burn it however my exhaust housing did. I put a heat sheild from cool it and it works great.
