erick, if the heat material is nice maybe u can provide me some too, i mounted my turbos beside the gearbox, at the bottom. so far i had shielded all the cables there, but if there is some better blanket materials i can apply it to other places too.

That's what I'm talking about!
Now we're all going to need CF hoods with dual bulge like the C63! Can we get someone to manufacture these!

sorry guys, i am actually making some progress on the car now!

couple of updates:

1. I am still waiting on the custom intercoolers and 'special' pulley to arrive and for the custom turbo manifolds to be finished...

2. The car is going back together already and I have been working to get all of the cooling lines run to the Johnson Pump and LET Heat Exchanger along with the getting to the general location of where the new intercoolers will be...

3. I will be getting the oil lines run tomorrow on the car...
