Most engines get hot after use. Turbo cars even hotter.

Perfectly normal. I find it also takes forever to cool. Welcome to the life of a turbo charged car.

They do get hot under the hood, even on pretty short drives!

If you bought the car modded, make sure the silver heat shields are still on the turbo. If not, you'll probably want to see about finding some sort of heat management for the turbocharger. There are options for factory and aftermarket out there.

Its a hot-blooded monster for sure. But don't mess with any of the stock cooling mechanisms and it'll be fine - the engine is made of strong components and can take a beating.
