Well my car shouldn't be rising two bars (AP2) over normal operating temp when driving around. It gets hotter if I am doing any "spirited driving". Even at stead speed above 60 it jumps around. I guess I can't really say anything until I get my laptop hooked up.

do you run stand alone? if so which one, if aem v1, do you use modifry temp driver? reason i ask is i run aem v1 with modifry, and it changes the temp gauge scale. def hook your laptop up asap. the stock gauge doesnt budge from 180-225ish for reference. that is considered normal.

i heard that aem v2 temp guage driver is iffy. does it change how it shows on the dash?

I couldn't tell you. I set it to what was recommended by indi00 (I think that was him) and left it.

i would just get a MAC Solenoid its 1/4 the cost and does the same thing. you're going to have to upload a map to change boost any way.
Question ! Do you think a turbo blanket can help prevent rust starting on an exhaust housing? or make it worse? or have no effect. My turbo and blanket will probably get wet.

Heh I'm curious too. I love the one vented hood but was always worried about getting caught in the rain. I had a one vented hood for a bit and decided the worry wasn't worth it. But if it's not a big deal then game on lol.

I hate my vented hood. It's functional and I didn't mind cutting it for the dump tube but I constantly worry about water getting in to the bay and I hate the way it looks. I feel like I have to explain to everyone that it is purely a functional piece haha

How much power are you running? What use? I'm thinking of saving up for a Puddymod diff myself, but wondering if it would be enough with Stage 2, or if I should go all in and order a Stage 4. I'm at ~500whp btw..
