Make sure the wg rod doesn't bind. You have some adjustability.

Is that a turbo blanket on the down pipe? Or a purpose made down pipe blanket?

Haha I know, I'm just cheap myself. I actually had an old turbo blanket I was considering trying to fit on my downpipe, then I saw this pic and thought "no, Cran didn't cheap out"

Thanks man! I saw those and wondered how they'd work out. Next time I pull mine apart I think I'll try one

What's that big black box in front of your #renesis, er I mean rew? It says "Ever Start". At first I thought it might be a battery but I know I clean build like yours wouldn't leave that there

Kidding looking good man

Great work Cran,

I have to agree though, that battery no longer belongs in there.

And we've talked about the ECU relocation already lol.

STILL WAYYYY sexier than my engine bay ATM.

Thx for the kind words.

I fully plan on owning an REW swapped 8. Whether i buy one done or do it myself, i dunno yet. I want this next one to be a WWP actually. That way i'll own the two best colors.
