Default heat problems?

Hi folks, i've recently had a turbo conversion done on my fiesta and it hasn't skiped a beat it's lovely to drive especially on the motorway

Trouble is under town driving condition it's getting quite hot under the bonnet and I think it's suffering from heat soak

what the best way of combatting heat from your manifold/turbo?

Should I be wrapping my manifold?

Or should I be putting some cold air feeds into my turbo induction kit?

I have though about bonnet raisers but they make you look lilke you can't shut you bonnet I will do this though if it's the only way

thanks for your advice peeps
