Do you have any other pics? Which turbo are you using? Horsepower expected?

Pretty tight fit in there. Any particular reason why you wrapped the DP?

You never thought about high temp coating? I know it is a little late to think about it now, but I would rather do that than the wrap.

Full race stuff IMO is the best engineered kits out there and will produce the best gains but is a big pain in the *** to install.

The bloody knuckles, expletives, frustration, and beer breaks will be worth it once its done, good luck.

i like the full race kit, but the manifold looks cramped in there. It has room, but not very much. I would have bought there kit, but I was not comfortable with the room in there. So I bought the PeakBoost top-mount kit and am sure it will be a tight fit, but not as tight. I had the mani coated, but not the DP because I am running a different radiator. Any way congrats, I hope my swap will be as fun as yours.
