I added $3 pipe insulation tape to the intake pipe, and intake casting.

Used duct tape, or "Greddy Intercooler Tape" as I'll tell the ricers to keep the airflow into the intercooler, not over it.

Removed my stupid hood insulation fabric, and placed 2 strips of above mentioned pipe tape.

Tomorow, I plan on ordering a 180 degree Thermostat for the car for $18.

For those wondering, current mods include:
-Suspension
24mm Front sway bar
22mm Rear sway bar
Poly bushings up front
6 point subframe brace
Zimmerman rotors, and EBC pads.

-Performance
Custom 3inch intake, with K&N
Extrude honed transition castings
Garret T-28 upgraded from T25.
Viggen FMIC single pass unit.
Dawes manual boost controller
Forge BOV
OGS Pro-Pain (still in test phase)
JT 3 inch downpipe, no cat
2.5 inch SaabSport stainless cat back.

I also have a head, and set of cams being prepared at Enders Racing Engines, but that's next years project.

B4 you look at my dyno sheet, I really think something was up. I posted like 167hp at the wheels, and 201flbs. I did see boost back off from 15 to 11-12 on each run, I just think it was freakishly hot in the shop. This was also on a mustang dyno.
(edit) with no rpm pick up.
