I've been looking at picking up some of that wrap, and the turbo blanket as well.

Did you get your DEI parts from here Davis? http://stores.ebay.com/Hiperparts-On-Line

Since I need to pull the turbo and x-over off to check/replace some things, I figured I may as well wrap some stuff up to keep the temps down.
Are you going to wrap the downpipe too?

Ya Luke thats the seller i got my Header Wrap from, I bought my spray from a speed shop here in Ontario due to that seller not being able to ship rattle cans accross the border.

i bought my DEI turbo kit last year on ebay but never got it on yet...

as for the DownPipe im going to wrap the part where it connects to the Turbine and leave the stock SS braided section alone as its insulated under that anyway..

UPS is delivering my turbo back tomorrow and its about time.....i forget what they look like already.

should be up and running TOMORROW!!!! Woot!!!!

Still leaning how to use that camera and i took these with no flash in the Garage cause the Flash made the thing look like a star due to the reflection..

Wow that looks sweet. Is that a brand new T25 or did you upgrade? Did you request the highly polished finish?

It was a brand new T25 Garrett unit i bought off ebay last fall (had less than 500 miles on it) got and all that was wrong was it was blowing oil out the seal into the DP so said the owner selling it on ebay.

i sent it away for a looky loo to make sure thats all that was wrong with it and had new seals put in, it has the polished compressor upgrade and the HPC coated turbine also.  :icon_cool:

and some minor internal upgrades not really worth mentioning  ;)

got it all installed tonite less the IC pipes and R&R some melted hose loom's for the MBC which is tomorrow's task first.

Then Program my O2 sensor and get the emulator running with Tunerpro  :icon_eek:

Very pretty indeed :) I'm sure that will look quite nice in there, all that black accenting with big shiney turbo :)

Oh hey, I did have a question, since you did the EGT probe in the crossover which we are thinking, how thick is the crossover?  Is it thick enough to just drill and tap or is it a must to have it welded?  Either way is no problem, just curious....

Invasion1

i tried the drill and tap but was not "good enough" IMO so i welded the probe bung it came with on to ensure it was done right.

z284pwr

Alright, that is what I was curious about then, we welded the bung in a different car is why I was wondering, I'll get a new one then, no big deal
