Make sure you brace the underside of that new unit so it doesn't crack prematurely. 

Will do. Thanks for the tip

"Wow" smooth operator,
 

Love the video. Really enjoyed watching you turning laps at mount P.

I just spent some time in the garage inspecting the car. There is nothing that I need to touch before WPC. Is this the first reliable turbo SW20 in the history of the world? (touch wood) hehe

My advice would be to ceramic coat it. I'm currently taking out my aftermarket manifold to put in a stock cast iron one I managed to get imported. The tubular steel one I have puts out way too much heat for a track car. Fine on the street and for drag racing but lapping a circuit where its hitting around a thousand degrees is causing wiring looms to melt and a lot of heat soak everywhere. I have heat shielding everywhere but still too hot. The ceramic coaters say around a 30% heat reduction from coating. I'm still going standard manifold as even 30% heat reduction on what these put out is too high. Probably try to run some ducting around there too, to force air in.

Thanks. Yes I'm definitely going to get it coated, and have lots of shields.

Just an idea, make a scoop under the car that forces cold air through the engine bay and out of the lid. That will remove that extra heat. The original plastics under the car are designed to do this with a scoop built into rear plastic that is under turbo area, as the air flows over your roof it gets suck out. This is how I'm doing it on my car. It works well.

I had the same experience with my car. Its why I moved to the V6.
