Are you going to put a heat shield between the charge piping and your turbo? The heat might negate your IC effects.

Yea actually I got the housing and down pipe Jet Hot coated that should help a lot but I am going to install a heat shield to prtoect the Carbon Fiber hood and other engine stuff. The water hose is going to be a hard pipe like on Stangs that have the hard piping kit for the radiator.

literally I've lost count but I have to say no less than 8k with all the plating, little items like 80$ V-band clamps, SS braided hoses, piping... blah too much money. My wife don't even know.

Next are 18 or 19 HRE's I hope.

60-1/Tial40 (Last of the gun metal colored wastegate by them ) they're all silvery looking/Vortech/spearco/ Haltech
