Default Turbo Build Almost Done!

I ls swapped my foxbody about 6-7 years ago, had about 5 different motor/trans/nitrous setups in it, but this is my first turbo lsx build.
Decided to swtich short blocks and have a buddy start building the turbo kit about a year ago....i finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.
LSX 434

Twin s366

Looks like ill have to take off the DP and do plugs from underneath. One thing i will miss, is how easy this car was to work on before...

Do you plan on leaving the headers unwrapped?

Your underhood Temps are going to be insane. Will probably make your intercooler pretty much useless, and I pray you are using some E85 or something with really high octane. Will probably make short work of your paint as well. Only a suggestion, but I would wrap those headers.

I'd say the PAS reservoir would melt too if unwrapped and unprotected.
