    The only downside to the exhaust wrap is the potential for moisture to accumulate and eventually cause rust issues.  Oh, and the ends of the stainless steel zipties do a fantastic job of poking holes in your fingers.... :monkey:

    You could always ceramic coat the downpipe/exhaust and then wrap it to prevent rust issues.

  2. George (Zappo) went from a gt3076 to at gtx2867r.

    Well, I ordered a .63 a/r hotside for the 3076, but I am not sure that is what I got. The engine came with a .82, but the new housing came with the .63 markings covered up. I swapped it in, but I don't think it made any difference.

    I ordered a GTX2867R with a .63 a/r. I will swap over the internal wastegate stuff and it should be a direct bolt in.

    The GT3076R is fun at 4000 RPM, but I need boost much lower for my current needs. At best I have 4-5 psi at 3k with it and it doesn't really start to climb up until after 3500. I would like to have at least 10 psi by 3k.

  3. Small update. New dash is in and reinforced, feels super solid. Going gold on the rear S60 R and front boxter S calipers with red brembo decals. For those interested the boxter S monoblock calipers fit perfect (edit: with slight modification) with CJ's brackets and the S60 R rotors. All said an done it was an $800 front Porsche BBK kit.

    What modification was needed, with CJ's brackets? I pick up some 01 Carrera 4 AWD 996351426 996351425($450), which I believe are the same as the Boxster S calipers.
