You must have missed, or forgotten, post #5. Carolina Reaper is what I've been using for years. It's supposed to be twice as hot as Ghost. But as mentioned, there's no instructions for this sorta thing and I lapsed on the application just once and get the pix in post 5.
I can get that stuff, which as far as I'm concerned would be most painful death ever, but I can't get a looong laundry list of other things. Like I was denied windshield wipers and a grill I wanted for my car, because Ca blocked them. Thank god because that grill could've upset my tummy, had I eaten it. Thank you Big Brother for looking out for me because I'm too stupid to survive without you. If you're wondering wth I'm talking about; Prop 65. Just one of many laws that prevent me from buying many things I want.

Today my turbos didn't work. I knew why, but dreaded looking.
This, btw, is after I removed a massive handful of my cars insulation out of the way to take this pix. It would seem the tube was "in his way" because he didn't just chew it, he completely severed it and this is exactly how I found it.
Did a redneck patch job on it and sprayed more Carolina Reaper all over the place. As I write this I'm still choking and coughing on the fumes. Maybe I need to mix it with oil for better hanging power because it isn't lasting long enough.
Ever see Al Bundy sitting on the couch, a broken man that has given up? I feel like that right now...

I did have Reaper on that hose, it just doesn't last enough, apparently. That exact spot is where it leads under the intake and seems to be their favorite area so it was douched extra well.
I spoze I'll test to see if the Reaper mixes with with Propylene Glycol, to hopefully give more staying power. I also have Glycerin. If all fails I guess corn oil?

The insulation is the firewall. See post #5 where it's only half missing. It's almost all gone now. The "carpet" with insulation runs all the way down the tranny tunnel too, which wasn't ravaged before but I suspect is now. I had the hood open friday so all this went down over the weekend.
Even if they don't destroy stuff, they're still in there because the engine is covered in sht & ****, as you can see on that bracket with the label.
The ECU seems to be a favorite spot to **** n sht, which holds it in the fins. Then the turds half dissolve in the ****, then the eng heat bakes it into a gooey sludge.
If I was Thanos I'd go back in time 20000 years and "snap", no Rats... Today they'd only be known by some obscure fossil record.
