Damn you...im almost done with my intercooler piping. sucks doing it all from scratch but
anyway 2 things.....well 3..
1. I would be way to paranoid about the wastegate housing so close to a wire harness without at least having some DEI firemat or something there.

2. Get a turbo blanket off ebay


3. Whats with the LT1 Maf?
