What's this shield near fuel tank?
yeah, it's only made from crap-ite, you should be able to re-shape it a bit with a little brute force, see where it's rubbing and bodge accordingly :)

turbo's
As above really, but it's due to the lack of oil pressure with the engine stopped after a blast (i.e. oil pump not running) and the turbos still spinning without an adequate oil feed, bad for the bearings, best thing to do is either drive the last mile off boost, nice and easy, or let it tick over for a minute when you stop so the turbos can spin down, which is what a turbo timer does.... Do a search for boost jets, dead easy and dead cheap, but if you can, get a boost controller (digital, not manual), not the cheapest option, but well worth the money once set up correctly, but you don't want to go over 14.5 PSI on stock turbos, so an aftermarket boost gauge is essential if your going to up the boost.... HTH...

Door locking question + new lit handles
why do you want them lighting up after you've lifted the handle? I can't see why that would be any use? I know that's how the illuminated lock barrels work, that makes sense... Of course you don't want them on all the time, perhaps on for 20 seconds or so after you have remotely unlocked the car, that'd be ideal....
