Motor mount might melt without a coating or wrap...

 

Looks sick Andy, I like the wg position. Is your oil filter still in the stock location?

 

There are others that use this manifold without heat issues...i should be alright. Its not THAT close to the motor mount...nothing like the exhaust housing on inline pro log setups....that basically sits on the motor mount...haha.

 

yea stock filter location. thanks, i wanted a different look and to keep the fusebox from melting. Thats why I chose to have the wastegate off near the valve cover.

I agree 100%. I have looked at that picture too many times....now it will be mine. Only thing is I dont have the vband like you do

 

uhm, yeah. that needs to be coated for sure. Youll prob have some sexy oil crispys inside your oil filter. That shit is CLOSE.

 

lol, its not as close as it seems. And I wrap each oil filter with a heat blanket. haha.

I am not going to coat it though, I dont expect issues honestly. Most coatings chip off anyways.

 

Andy I didn't coat mine, it's fine.

I wrapped the d/p and w/g dump, coated the exhaust housing but left the manifold untouched..other than that, I'm rockn/rollin.

I did use heat resistant tubing to cover my oil/coolant feeds as they sit close to the turbine the way they are routed.

 

Thats a refrence pic pang sent me. That is my exact setup but I have a black Tial 44 instead. The downpipe goes from 2.5-3" with a bellmouth which I wasnt expecting but is pretty cool. PFab
