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

Im gonna get the same kit but coat everything going to the turbo, solid mounts, plug sleeves and do steel braded ps lines. I hate the way header wrap looks.

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.

I'm only going to wrap everything but the headers. I'm not too worried bout spool though. if you have left over wrap just wrap whatever isn't wrapped lol.

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.
