Nice, I think I will order it tomorrow, but my parents are in the room and will flip if I order it in front of them. LOL, sounds like we got the same parents.

Hey BrownDogg, you still got that S/C? Any interests in selling it? You have an auto right, but what year?

Man, I chewed off my nails for nothing. LOL, J/K. We'll see what happens. Maybe he was just trying to spoil my excitement.

ALEX! Does the wastegate come close to the hood because that is the highest part of the turbo kit?

The waste gate is no where near the hood. The only thing that is some what close is the turbo itself.

The wastegate is nowhere near the wastegate? Haha, but, yea, I think a heat shield should do the job.
