Heat wrapping has been covered a billion times. I am going to do it, but not until after I’m sure there aren’t going to be any leaks/cracks… Also, I have a CF hood, for the record. (not that it makes it any better…) ---

I am really stoked for blown euros. I hope a good amount of people get their projects done myself included. IanK is not available I have kidnapped him and he now does slave labor for me. Either that or he is my indentured servant. I lent him $2 for a soda at 10,000% interest compound hourly. If you want him to take pics I can rent him out for $50/hr LMK ---

> [@turbociv](#): > > i personaly think the downpipe should be wrapped. I would have it all coated first. The stuff on the skyline was coated and it got hot enough to melt some wiring… Not that there is much real estate to work with in there but yeah. Heat coating and wrap is a great idea on top of shielding or wrapping for crucial areas and harnesses. Check the heat shield product that APS uses in their kits that stuff rocks. Id be concerned about the additional heat that will be introduced to the already warm brake fluid. ---
