tap off of the vacuum line goin into the brake booster...thats your best source for vaccum on our cars in my opinion.

As for the heat wrap I would wrap the fuel line next to the manifold and the vaccum line near the manifold.
also the sfter cables because they get sorta close to the downpipe...

and the biggest for me wrap the oil return line that runs to the pan.

I did this and saw an 11 degree drop in my oil temps from wrapped to unwrapped
from 210 down to 199


If you have any other questions let me know.

I had the same problem with the downpipe not being connected, except, that the car would drive. I have the CEL, Traction and VSC lights all on until I got my downpipe reflanged and had no exhaust leaks.

how is your tune? that sounds like the car is getting to much air to make up for and is dying. mine was doing the same thing with my larger intake so i had to choke it down, and my supra does the same thing cuz the MAF is bad. it may not be that, but it might be

you mean the tube that connects to the airbox? does the greddy kit move the MAF of the airbox? if it does u wont even need a filter on the tube if your dynoing indoors becuase it should be ver clean inside where a dyno is lol.

My eManage is Velcro'd to the bottom of my stock ecu. That way everything is accessable and repositionable. :D

I used two zip ties to fasten the eManage below the stock ECU. It's a bit more secure than velcro and leaves it accessable
