The only "quick and dirty" solution is to put titanium shims between the pad and piston. But I've found that only reduces temps by about 90 degrees F. Which apparently isn't enough since my boots vaporize even with the shims.
I stopped worrying. Lots of really high performance brake kits don't even come with the boots since they fry so easily. Just try not to get grime/salt/crap in the pistons and you'll be fine.
The dust boot protects the inner piston o-ring, which is rubber. If you just rebuild your brakes every year, it shouldn't be a problem. $20 a kit for rebuild.
Alternatively, you can fab up some proper ducts to feed the center of the rotors. Being that I got black flagged by some idiot who thought my glowing rotors were a safety issue (lol), I might have to get some ducts fabbed up.
