Default Clutch Fluid Reservoir melted - need another

As the title says, for a 2005-2007 STI.

Here is what is left of the old one in case it helps to identify anything.

It was on the dyno and was obviously getting pretty warm and the XTR heat bag that goes over the turbo caught fire and the flames melted the clutch fluid reservoir causing brake fluid to drip down onto the turbo and heat bag making it flame up even more. Thankfully we spotted it before it could do any more damage so a couple of squirts with the dry chemical fire extinguisher was enough to be able to get hold of the heat bag and rip it out so it could keep burning away from the car.

So I think I might give the heat bag idea a miss and go for trusty old heat shielding I think, I picked up an HKS heat shield from JWS which I'll modify to fit my setup and it should be all good after that.

The heat bag caught fire?

That sounds a little suss. I'd have thought they would be made completly fire resistant considering their entire job is to contain the excessive heat made by a turbo.

I can only guess it got soaked in oil somehow?
