Larger turbo = melting wiring harness??

I recently installed a 60-1 HiFi on my 87 TII. I'm concerned about how close the turbo is to the wiring harness. At its closest point, we're talking less than 1/4 inch!!

What is the best way to alleviate any potential problems?

I drove the car tonight, and while driving, my tach went out. Almost immediately afterwards, the car started bucking, and the lights started getting brighter and dimmer, etc. The stereo started acting weird as well. Could this have been caused by the heat buildup in the wiring harness? If not, does anyone have any other suggestions?

The car never did this BEFORE the turbo install.
