Would wrapping the crossover pipe do anything or would it not be beneficial? I've got 3/4 of a 50' roll left.

header wrap is more efficient apparently and much cheaper.

I did not cut out behind it at all and have absolutely no problems at all. My IATs are only a few degrees above ambiant.

aaah spark plug sleeves I have some already.

Yea the IC setup is pretty much the same, but mine was hitting when it was that low, so I raised it and bent to L bars to hold the bottom to prevent the IC from hitting the metal.

So tomorrow I'm hoping to tap the pan and get the pump out.

Where should I tap the pan at and how the hell does the pump come out?

Also, I wrapped the ps rubber lines. What else is suggested to be wrapped?

I'm still waiting on my v band clamps, fuel pump, and wastegate.

I got the fuel pump in today, got some painting done, and got the pan tapped. Should I reuse the gasket or buy a new one? I figure a nice bead of rtv gasket silicone should be alright.

now that I'm looking at it, do you think that where its tapped it will be in the way of the k member or anything else for that matter. I'm waiting on my motor mounts to come in before the k member goes back in.

And don't worry all the green will be covered, I ran out of the paint and the coolant was on the easily accessible parts. My peckcock is broken but doesn't leak, thats why the coolant is everywhere.

I think the crossover from the passenger side goes right by where you tapped the pan. I could be wrong though. Might want to check that before you bolt it back on.
