Bad fuel filter has been bugging the car for awhile and FIST couldn't find what was wrong with the car at the time of tuning. Needs a new tune but you're right, it should be a lot higher than the figures. Actually, last dyno it had dropped back down to 207rwkw, go figure!Rob.

They are of the Garrett brand so quality will not be an issue. What do you guys think? Even a group buy??? if so ive got 2 down so far.Rob... LINK: http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category60_1.htmdid you end up putting one on? if so can you quickly run through removing the heat shield and maybe even pics with it on? im extremely interested in getting one of these.

The only bits of the engine that trully survived undamaged where the exhaust heat shields. The two fire investigators have differning veiws on weither or not these blankets cause fires or prevent them. One thing is for sure they certainly reduce under bonnet temps. They are also EXTREMLY BAD if you have any kinds of oil or fluid leak as the absorb the fluid and make a nice little nest for fires to start in.Having said that i would like to fit one to my ute purely for the under bonnet heat reduction Luke
