WOW! 14.2 at lacr is dam good. the best it did was 15.2 at 8psi on my old turbo. it wouldnt spool until second. i changed that turbo now and i m hoping for better times.and hell ya my luanches suck ***.

 

exhaust wrap on your charge pipes? are you using al or steel? i think they leave al exposed to dissipate heat..

 

lol nah i didnt do that at lacr.. lacr sucks i did 14.2 at carlsbad.. and im usin steel.. oh and here are better pics of my ride. and installation. its gonna be up top

I really like the way that looks man! my car is basically the some appearance wise, except I have a tyrus intercooler and spoon mirrors, my rs lip is even black too. I am runnin a b16a under the hood. sweet ride man!

 

you know it might be worth your while to keep it exposed, thats unless you think your ic brings your charge temp to ambient, which i doubt. the reason being while youre moving, underhood temps are pretty close to ambient. so instead of letting moving air cool the pipes youre holding it in with that wrap. youre better off using it to wrap the manifold to aid in spool and just make a heatshield between the turbo and any piping.

 

I would run your boost line at least to a fitting on the charge piping near the thottle body, since you have an external wastegate. that should do the trick.
