none
Its not justified thats the funny part
Really tho its just temporarily until i get another turbo bc my last 1 is leaking major oil.
I think it looks pretty cool tho my engine bay looks almost empty

It looks nice but wouldnt it be better if all your pipes are made out of aluminum?
It looks like the whole thing is silicone besides the elbow.

Did a lot of work over the summer. Installed AWR radiator, AutoExe CAI, RP fuel pump, Racing Beat sways, Braille battery, Delrin Transmission bushings, all pillow *****, fuel filter & completed installation of Greddy SMIC with a modified stock air duct (thanx 5.7SupeR7 who sold me the brand new IC). That was the final piece I was looking for for so long. It has found a good home. That's all for a while.

Onefast3gen, your engine bay looks sick I don't think I've seen you at any of the local meets or races.

widebodyseven, those nipples on your LIM are just passthroughs, there is no need to cap them off with vacuum caps. Just FYI

I must say the set-up is the sickest I've ever seen. I want to talk crap and hate, but that would be dumber than dumb. When my rx7 grows up I hope it looks like this one. Great Job.
