With everything ie... the turbine housing, exhaust manifold, and the downpipe being ceramic coated I do not think that the underhood temps are going to be an issue. I like nice and neat packages!

Yeah, I went through the school of hard knocks!!lol I just kept with it and found a true passion in the rotaries. It just took a little time to figure out the little quirks of the 7, but I have learned a lot and am constantly learning new and exiting info about them. I really was lost when I first got my 7.haha

I remember trying to help diagnose a problem when you first got it. Rocky asked me and I was like 'hell yeah I'll help!'

You don't need it anymore. All growns up.

I might need help sometime in the future as I encounter a problem that I have not faced yet, but I can pretty much handle myself now.

I have been working on getting all of my new gauges mounted this week. I had to build all of the harnesses for them as well. I had ordered a universal DIN panel from www.egauges.com , but it was a little too small. So, I cut a piece of 1/8" aluminum plate and built one for myself.I think that it turned out quite nice!

There is also a pic of my 1/2qt oil catch can! It is 2" in diameter and 6" tall.

I agree im not even boosting 14 psi and it already went bad.
I prefer Greddy the quality and sound is awesome.
