Very cool idea wstar. You had mentioned measuring your intake air temperature before, were you able to do any comparison before/after?

Most of the insulation is post-MAS, so post-sensor. I doubt I'd see much difference in behavior. Maybe later once the front parts under the bumper are shielded up too.

Taking advantage of DDM's Memorial Day sale, ordered a PC680 battery, bracket, and a set of Hotchki's swaybars.

I know, especially with the underdrive pulley, I'm taking a risk with the tiny battery on a street car. I figure if it starts being problematic, I'll just set up a trickle charger in my garage for anytime the car will be dormant more than a day. I think it'll work out ok. Plus getting the battery moved will allow me to move forward with the rest of the trunk changes (getting a deeper liner/carpet fabbed that covers my battery/tools and frees up a bunch of cargo space where the sub/spare used to be).

First off, thanks for the order . Second, I have had the PC680 for months now with no issues. My car even sat for 10 days un-touched while I was on my honeymoon and it fired right up when I got back.
