But seriously, wrap the downpipe, find a heat shield or something and you will be fine. I think you are trying to do way more than what is necessary to this car.

lol, two different points of view I guess. I really noticed the difference in my car, felt great and didn't really take all that much time or money. It spooled faster, and hot days never really bothered me anymore.

Heat wrap the headers, heatwrap the DP until it's about 1' into the underside of the car (deflects heat while still minimizing backpressure), get a blanket for the turbo, upgrade to silicone hoses, use a higher percentage of water in the coolant ratio (also add Royal Purple "Purple Ice"; better than water-wetter), go for a higher quality oil (insert Royal Purple plug here), increase the size of the hood scoop, wire the water spray to come on under WOT, look into spraying meth, get N20 or C02 for intercooler (note that water and C02 is corrosive), add heat shielding to your CAI (go buy one of those foil windshield heat deflectors, cut it to the right size to wrap your CAI pipe loosely, zip tie), TB coolant redirect, clean your radiator (lol), modify your stock turbo heat shield to fit your DP (then cut strips od DEI exhaust wrap and silicone glue it to the inside of the heat shield; take DEI silicone spray and add several light coats to the inside and outside), lower PSI radiator cap (or, in your case, coolant reservoir cap), move the 2 coolant lines away from your CAI (even if it means extending them or *GASP* using zip ties), remove the bracket from cyl. 3 to up pipe (just look, you'll see it -- unnecessary, direct heat transfer to motor from exhaust).
I have some of these done already...
The bracket has been removed
I moved my coolant lines
TB Bypass
I'm going to stay away from pressurized gas b/c of offroading... yikes
I dont have my CAI anymore, b/c i was afraid i would suck too much dirt and i also couldn't get as deep in water anymore.. Should I wrap the snorkel delete, airbox, maf hose, and ram-air intake duct?
Modify the stock turbo shield---- i dont see one.. think its gone... I could prob fine one somewhere...?
Wire the water spray @ wot----> how do i do this? a button at the bottom of the pedal??
Thanks again! This thread is juicy.
