^If that's what I think you're talking about then they're supposed to significantly reduce temps in the engine bay. I imagine it would be effective, but have no personal experience. Got another new giant turbo you need to cover up? lol

Lots of ppl run them so I'm guessing they help reduce temps. STM ran one on the Ricer and he sells them as well (DEI is the brand)

ya br apparently tested one and been running them.

I am starting to look for ways to start insulating this kind of stuff. my uicp can get pretty hot sometimes.

br and stm are kinda pricy for what I am trying to do. I did find an ebay dealer selling them for around $60 and read some good reviews on nasioc about it. I might settle for the ptp one in chrome to promote blingness and attract more women to my front end.

but if u really wanna go all out and find ways to dish out ur hard earned money, then this is what u do..lol

For tuning... wide open. Its easy to do since it really only takes an hour or so depending on what you have done and if you are going SD. For major projects it is really by appointment. We literally opened the doors in the shop 2 weeks ago, and 2 major builds, 2 clutch jobs and some other interesting things hit the bay immediately. We will always take the work, we just hate telling customers, yeah, 1 week, just to get the car in the door and 2 months later, oh by the way.... we're just starting

Whenever you are ready... drop me a line
