Update, just found something interesting. Here is like 1500 miles tops on the manifold i have.
I started smelling burning and was like WTF. I have the MAP firewall heatshield but am still trying to figure out how the hell to install it, doesn't seem to fit over my manifold, but I might be retarded haven't tried hard yet lol. Need to email Chris.
So basically...don't run no heatshield on an X!
On a much better note..200 miles or so on the new belt, all looks well still.
I haven't really gone past 5k rpms at all or beat on it yet so until then I will hold my joy.
Saturday is fender rolling, Monday/Tuesday I am going to Shawns again to do springs/Rear sway install and then Friday the car will be at stellar getting a new alignment and then right to MAP friday to put on a new gasket between the turbo and o2 pipe as DB never received the one for the O2 dump downpipe. SO I have an annoying exhaust leak and I prefer to keep the two streams isolated.
