E torque alternator.

I have a question for you folks with the ET systems. since they replaced my MGU, the new unit has been smelling a little like hot electronics, to the point I can sometimes smell it through the HVAC vents. I am hopeful that its just because its new, but when I put my hand on it after a 30 minute drive, it was almost too hot to touch. I'm worried that's not a good sign. its not making any weird noises or anything. I realize its a generator most of the time, and those get hot, but has anyone else tested how hot these units feel? during the repair they updated the programming for the Etorque system to a newer build as well, and the Voltage seems to consistently be around 14.3 even after an hour long highway run. The old unit (old programming) would generally drop to the mid 13's volts after a short time. I'm just comparing notes here. I really don't feel like waiting another 8 weeks for another replacement if this things calves.
I think HOT is normal.. Mine etorque is working fine and it was hot the last time I went under hood to look things over.
