Default Boost hose burning !

Has anyone else had their turbo boost hose burn from the heat of the exhaust manifold ?
And what did you do to protect it ?
Here's my hose just taken off the car:

Quite a few do it, all you can do is wrap it really

I've never seen that. You want to wrap that manifold and shield that turbo to stop it happening again

I used exhaust wrap when I had the saph Dave, I did it in white then changed it to black, didnt look pretty but it was function over form.

Ive even done the focus as it runs too close for my liking.
