Very nice. I 2nd the turbo blanket idea, but either way should be badass.

And of course I am still getting the two coatings, on the manifold and hotside of the turbo. So the hotside of the turbo will be doubly covered.

I like it. Have you looked at PTP (http://www.ptpturboblankets.com/product_details.php?cat_id=33&pro_id=35) blankets?

I have not, I already ordered the DEI one though, so maybe next time :)
I also got some of the gold tape for firewall buff up too, just in case. I think I have enough shit now, I hope :) Time will tell.
I am getting really pumped for this, I was hoping to have it ready for this weekend for cars and coffee but I think I am going to spectate instead.
I also want to get a mini fire extinguisher but not sure what to get and how to mount it.
Anyone have any ideas?

They sell some at target. I keep one in my glove box at all times.

You have a Fire extinguisher in the glove box? Wow, that's a small one.
I was hoping for a mount that went under the passenger seat, anyone know of anything or maybe it's custom time.

Wouldn't it being under the seat make it awfully tough to grab real quick? I would think you would want it in an easy to access place like glove box, center console, etc. If really needed, you would probably be needing it in a hurry.

Yup, for automotive application. It's small but in the event of an emergency it'd be better than nothing or the random bottle of water/pop you might have in the car.

This. Think easy access. I put mine in the glove box right near the doritos that I stock in case Anna gets hungry.

Might have to do some custom stuff.
