The large black heat exchanger is the oil cooler. Below it is the turbo. The turbine section is covered with a commercially made heat shield. The muffler extends forward from behind the oil cooler. I likewise is covered with a heat shield. Just above the muffler the heat shield for the exhaust manifold is visible. The lines to the fuel injectors are above these items. This is not a good place to have fuel.

But there is no choice. You can not see it here but the oil cooler is mounted in rubber in compression in a frame and the frame is mounted by rubber to the engine mount. More about this later. Notice the SS tube which serves as oil return from the bottem of the turbo.

Again more later about use of materials and heat.
