Seen some of these pics on fb. Looks good!

Are they going to wrap the manifold and use a turbo blanket on the housing?

**goodhart** · 03-27-2013

INB4 Magnus claims they were the first to use that manifold design.

**Kracka** · 03-27-2013

I'm sure Magnus will claim they invented turbochargers all together and that Mitsubishi Heavy ripped them off.

No wrap planned. Coating the manifold and hotside for sure. Undecided on what else.

**Kracka** · 03-27-2013

Melty melty

I vote to heatshield and wrap the hell out of that setup.

**Murlo26** · 03-27-2013

I have the firewall heat shield already.

Planning to wrap lines and some sensors too with heat tape.

Ill figure it out before I push it real hard.

So no cruise for you? I would wrap that shit. You can go wrong with wrapping something... Better safe than sorry. Hope you put down so good numbers so you can run some liter bikes

**Murlo26** · 03-27-2013

Nope, ill be there, at least on wastegate boost

I just don't plan to beat the shit out of the car.

ROFL

Very nice. I 2nd the turbo blanket idea, but either way should be badass.

**Murlo26** · 03-27-2013

Adding the following after seeing everyones comments and talking with my tooner:

For oil feed/drain:

For wastegate lines:

And of course I am still getting the two coatings, on the manifold and hotside of the turbo. So the hotside of the turbo will be doubly covered.

**scheides** · 03-27-2013

These are fantastic additions.

**goodhart** · 03-27-2013

I like it. Have you looked at PTP blankets?

I have not, I already ordered the DEI one though, so maybe next time

I also got some of the gold tape for firewall buff up too, just in case. I think I have enough shit now, I hope

Time will tell.

I am getting really pumped for this, I was hoping to have it ready for this weekend for cars and coffee but I think I am going to spectate instead.

I also want to get a mini fire extinguisher but not sure what to get and how to mount it.

Anyone have any ideas?

**scheides** · 04-01-2013

They sell some at target. I keep one in my glove box at all times.

You have a Fire extinguisher in the glove box? Wow, that's a small one.

I was hoping for a mount that went under the passenger seat, anyone know of anything or maybe it's custom time.

**goodhart** · 04-02-2013

Wouldn't it being under the seat make it awfully tough to grab real quick? I would think you would want it in an easy to access place like glove box, center console, etc. If really needed, you would probably be needing it in a hurry.

Yup, for automotive application. It's small but in the event of an emergency it'd be better than nothing or the random bottle of water/pop you might have in the car.

This. Think easy access. I put mine in the glove box right near the doritos that I stock in case Anna gets hungry.

This is what I was thinking of guys:

Might have to do some custom stuff.
