That is ThermoTec heat wrapping. With all the new exhaust piping running throughout the engine, new levels of heat are introduced to areas that werent designed to take it. You wrap everything in this protective covering to keep things from being burned and creating problems down the roadBlackNWhite wrote:What's all that chain-mail looking stuff and the aluminum foil?
Lol, there will always be downers. Usually from people who have their own turbo systems, and want to challenge others because of the competition aspect. This kit is built the very best it can be, and I have no doubts about it. SFR has been in the VQ35DE game since it was first introduced. They have been featured in dozens of magazines, and have been awarded for their efforts. No biggie though, I could never begin to compare with a Saab 9-3Canadian Coupe wrote:Looks alright, decent kit.

I'd add a turbo blanket though. just me.
Why'd they switch from the Tial BOV to the Synapse?

I'm not going to shoot my load like everybody else. I said it was a decent kit and it looks alright, what's wrong with that?adidas2go wrote:Lol, there will always be downers.

I don't know what your Coupe is going to be putting down but don't bring my car into this.
For the record though, since you compared.

Rest is Saab. Thinking of throwing a second Saab turbo kit as well but I'm not sure if it's possible.
Wanna race sometime?
Enjoy your car. Enjoy the turbo.
It's most certainly WHP, to the wheels.rjdmmfl1 wrote:

first let me say with the cvt turbo altima coupe hitting the streets next week i'm sure nobody here gives a sh*t about your ***saab stories***... if you would like some recognition for having a quick saab go post in a saab forum please or post something up in the general forum. saying his kit is "decent" is an attempt to do what? i can't figure it out. the kit hasn't shown numbers and we haven't heard sound clips. saying it's just "decent" without knowing sh*t about it with a comparison to a saab in a nissan forum will just get you burned bro. trust me, i've learned my lessons on different boards the hard way.Canadian Coupe wrote:
