Went to install the wideband in the holes for the O2s and it didnt fit. I had to completely remove the non foulers from one rear 02 to get it to fit in the top spot. The wideband wouldnt go in all the way because it would hit the transmission......

You were right! Don't get me wrong, I love it now. I find myself being conservative most of the time anyways....gas is an issue for me right now, i almost doubled my gas bill last month from joyriding...

Oops...hopefully this part time job comes through until I get my next raise at my real job

Do you have a pic of your downpipe setup where the bungs are? Its impossible to get the wideband or one of the other rear o2s(with non foulers in the top hole because it hits the transmission..I want to see if yours are the same..

Yeah mine has them welded in too..but they are too high up.

Update. Put a turbo blanket on and also put a heatshield over the pass. radiator hose where it crosses under the intercooler piping. AITs are WAYYYY down. Under boost im getting about 5-6* above ambient and at idle about 11*. Before the blanket and heat shield I was getting about 30+* above ambient and would settle around 20* above under boost. After a long or quick run the pipes would be too hot to touch.Now the pipes are cool to the touch after a quick run. If the car sits for a while it will heatsoak but thats the same with anything and as soon as I start driving they cool right down..

Pics of the blanket please? and pics of the hose that is sheilded please. i guess the heat from that hose soaks into the charge pipe coming from the IC in front of the motor?

Yes, badly. Like I said before you couldnt rest your hand on the charge pipe after driving around..now its cool to the touch in both spots. The turboblanket has little spots to secure it down..but thats impossible with the lack of room. However I stuffed it on there and its pretty tight and really has nowhere to go.
