Just got my heat refelctive tape for the throttlebody pipe. A turbo blanket has also been ordered. Ive got no clue if it works but for the price, it worth to try!

sure we can meet up somewhere someday! a keeper, yeah for sure, but i always have to remind her that i was into this tuning stunff before i was with her, she could deal with it when we met, she can deal with it now... she never liked cars but she does enjoy the FRS, unless i step on the throttle...

Looks great. Thank you for taking the time to put together a video like this (and potentially doing more.

The pictures in the beginning flew by a little fast for me to really see, so I personally would slow them down just a little so people can process what they are looking at. I would also love a break from the music to hear the car with the turbo. Love engine noises and being able to kinda tell how quickly you are accelerating.

Why not wrap all the piping in gold ....seems like thats something on my to do list when i install my turbo kit. i know its not necessary but would look nice if you are building a functional and nice looking engine bay

I have actually considered wrapping my throttle body pipe with gold. Just haven't pulled the trigger on it yet.

Any datalogging results from this? I have been considering some kind of similar cooling solution for underhood temps. I saw where the Canadian Full Blown track car mentioned modifying the cowl area helped a ton with cooling.
