Sorry, no way you can fit the heat shield, thats why the dump was wrapped, to keep the heat down.

If you are only getting 6-7psi, I would expect that you must have a pretty restrictive exhaust - sorry to say. I had 9psi with cat and cat back, about 10 when the dump went on.

The main difference I found with the dump though was not increase in boost, but a really early spool up. I started making boost around 2200-2300 and the mid range felt a bit crisper when at part throttle.

I have the partition here, pick it up anytime. It may not fit perfect, but it would make a pretty good template so you could customise one for your car - easy to make AND CHEAP :D lol

Good to hear the tiens arent kidney jarring - sounds like the same one's Enrico has.

nah i dont' think its the exhaust being too restrictive .. i can't see how it can ... the only way to know is when i get the boost controller really :D .. but yeah the car is definitely 100% better especially now that i got a wheel alignment from bridgestone... free plug for bridgestone at mile end on henley beach road ... the guy was great .. cant' remember his name ... but i went to the one on gouger but it is closed due to renovations and the other guy said that that larry fella who all u guys love has left bridgestone and is now going to be working for the goverment?? ... guess hes following in steves footsteps :( ... but yeah now im taking corner faster without even hearing the wheels screech ... what a difference it makes!!!! :( ... the guy doing my car told me it was way off before he fixed it ... can't remember exactly what he said but it had 16mm toe in? or something like that?? LOL when it should be 2 :D hehehe

I am not sure about more heat wrapping, I only had the dump done and it seemed fine, didnt melt any wires or anything.

If you are worried just keep an eye on it, if anything looks like it is starting to show signs of heat fatigue, wrap it/shield it.

A bleeder shouldnt cost too much, and it will definately help, just dont wind in too much with the stock cooler or you will be needing a new turbo.

      I guess it was the thought about "Oh if I were to drive this everyday". Then no, SL500 I wouldn't really consider lmao.

      Yeah actually really fair point. Idk what I was thinking when looking at the SL500. Now that I think about it, I feel like I would have more enjoyment out of a shitbox that I would need to repair than some fancy merc. Although I must admit the SL500 does look quite nice. My bad hahaha.

      100% Also "Not wanting to spend money" is THE WORST IDEA IMAGINABLE when coming to a project car of any kind. They EXIST to BURN MONEY. Sure, gas money is a thing. A stock car with the worst fuel economy ever sold would probably be cheaper than modifying a car with FREE petrol for the life of your ownership of it, lol.

      Amount of time you're being observed by law enforcement is so minute, that you could be a dumb shit 90% of your driving time, and never lose a demerit. You could also be the best driver ever and still get hit with a fine.   When you realise how quickly everything turns from "Wee, we're having fun!" To "oh f**k oh f**k oh f**k", you start to realise the only way to be a good driver, is to not be doing anything dumb or unexpected by normies on the road. You want to go fast, go to the track. Someone there in a 1990s slow POS will also show you how bad of a driver you are as they lap 10 seconds per lap quicker than you can in a car that should be considerably faster.

      This is a stupid reason to get a car. I thought someone mentioned something about not trying to be pretentious... Flexing is same same, you just think you're cool doing it.
