Seen some of these pics on fb. Looks good!

Are they going to wrap the manifold and use a turbo blanket on the housing?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

INB4 Magnus claims they were the first to use that manifold design. ;)

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I'm sure Magnus will claim they invented turbochargers all together and that Mitsubishi Heavy ripped them off.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

No wrap planned. Coating the manifold and hotside for sure. Undecided on what else.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Melty melty :)

I vote to heatshield and wrap the hell out of that setup.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I have the firewall heat shield already.

Planning to wrap lines and some sensors too with heat tape.

Ill figure it out before I push it real hard.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

So no cruise for you? I would wrap that shit. You can go wrong with wrapping something... Better safe than sorry. Hope you put down so good numbers so you can run some liter bikes

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

Nope, ill be there, at least on wastegate boost:) I just don't plan to beat the shit out of the car.

ROFL:spin:

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

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

Adding the following after seeing everyones comments and talking with my tooner:

For oil feed/drain:

For wastegate lines:

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.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

These are fantastic additions.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

I like it. Have you looked at PTP blankets?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

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?

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

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

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

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.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

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.

Re: Dave's Evo X Build/The Life of Dave blog
 

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.

This is what I was thinking of guys:

Might have to do some custom stuff.
