Whew...that's good. Yeah, I should've known it wasn't going to be just water in the intercooler. Okay, so 2 questions:
Would it be possible to get a rough revised cost estimate on the kit, or is it too early to say?
And would it be possible to see a couple of pics of the turbo and the associated plumbing that's under the intercooler?

Since the tranny is at the same spot as the wheels, and the wheels tend to push the car up and over speed bumps, etc. this will just mean you have to make sure you don't hit any stumps are large rocks. For the people that have the SVT font bumper, it doesn't go below that line.

Is there any chance of offering the headers to the collector and down pipe as a piping only kit for those of us with a DIY attitude? I've got the fueling and engine control figured out, can add a intercooler later, and have access to to many turbo parts to want the full kit. Not to mention, stage two of project Silvinator just might flow to much for a T28 anyway... Just asking...

If you dont wrap that turbo you will burn the paint off the hood as well as burn up alot of the components around the turbo. Those things get HOT!! Why after running 70 MPH on the interstate mine has been seen to glow dull red!!  Lotsa heat there.  you should get that checked out... as a general rule, a glowing manifold/header/exhaust housing indicates a lean situation. my paint isnt coming off of my hood...

Nothing to worry about Don everything is fine. Dull cherry red is normal, bright whiteish orange is'nt. Exhaust Temps are within range. A/F ratio's are fine, its just nature of the beast.
