my turbo is ok but my turbo manifold {bottom mount} was really close to touching it. its like a cm gap between both. so i got a heat shield, and cut it to size. so now it sits between both of them. will post pics if u want. ---

i think the non abs brake booster is smaller so ur bmc will sit closer to ur firewall that way. so u could always convert to that if ur abs right now ---

hmm i wish there was another solution other that the booster eliminator someone told me to run dot 4 fluid and dont wry about it but i feel really uneasy running a hot turbo resting right on the master cylinder… ---

is it your lines that are touching or is it your bmc itself? because ive seen people run heat wrap on the bmc, and i just ran {the orange cover on the hardline, see pic} a high heat line cover {got it from SG motorsport}. the outside layer sorta got burnt but the actual inside material is holding together strong. ---

the actual bmc is touching the turbo housing, i could wrap it but i imagine it would still get hot. ---
