When i remoded my Intake i added aditional heat shielding (i have spare sheet metal if you want it dean, although since i paid like $3 ish , and i'm trying to avoid driving as much as possible, its cheaper for you to buy some, then to pick it up in tahoe - though if Brian ends up here for work maybe i can hand it off and it will make it to a meet?)
I have not yet recharged my air filter. i was just thinking the filter was about due. But now its about due to be pulled off for the stock intake.

[tonight if i can borrow tools / if not , way soon]
Sucks to be wrong.
its even shittier to be wrong with a broken car
(to bad that i LOVE the motor/turbo noises with that intake\ though not enough for motor damage) After my car is fixed Maybe i'll hunt down a different filter/ intake (Only when i can get EM + Tuning directly after)
I really hope Sperry is right.
is it likely that i've cuased permanent motor damage ?
