trix2702 23 Posted January 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Got my Downpipe finished today and wrapped it up in some kevlar wrap. Had to order a schimmel elbow for my inlet as my throttle body was catching the fan switch in the thermostat housing. Hopefully everything else will be done by the time I recieve it.

Gavin D 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi MateJust been throught your thread and you have done some great work.Just thought i would mention though that the Turbo jacket you are running may cause problems with over heating the turbo, a friend of mine had one on a GT35 and the turbo got that hot it boiled the oil and killed the turbo which im sure you know are not cheap to replace.Anyway, great project and loving the OZ split rims Link to post Share on other sites
