This means those of us in Commiefornia and similar shit hole cess pool political states are screwed, unless you want to dealer level flash (and pay probably a very large bill to do it) back to stock every 2 years.
I understand that the lower the temperature going into the engine the better, but if you’re sucking in hot air directly before the turbine, especially with a stock manifold, it can only cool it so much.
I’m fully aware the cooler the air to water manifold can cool it, then better, but we also...
It is measured in the charge pipe, just before the throttle valve, so without actual sensor before the turbine, it’s the closest measurement we can get before it goes through the air to water intercooler, unless I am mistaken. Seeing how the temperature isn’t much higher then ambient, and if...
Looks good, good review. I went with Black Market Race heat shield, 1 piece, no screws to drop trying to hold it while connecting. My IAT’s are 12-13 degrees higher then ambient, this is with an aftermarket intake. After running the car hard, you can put your hand near the turbo/intake and keep...

Feel free to spend double to do exactly the same thing though, amazes me how many people do with 0 difference.
When I saw the OP asking, I cringed on the solutions some might post. Yours made me happy. Usually I would post against modifying mounting for seats, but this appears to be a very solid option that doesn’t jeopardize safety at the same time. 👍
