Turbo M16A Jimny

Installed a turbo blanket to keep the hood temperatures down. Has some benefits of quicker spool up time apparently. Thought I should be proactive as the temperature around the Turbo was intense and I am sure something would either melt or malfunction. The coil packs felt super hot and I reckon the paint could foul on the bonnet.

Few pictures of engine bay etc

Will upload a video of it in action soon. The car is a absolute beast now. I may delete the muffler as the exhaust is so quiet now but the dump valve is very loud which is great fun. I am going to cut out the bumper where the number plate currently is and put a DTM style exhaust in the centre. Took the spare wheel off and ordered a cover (picture below)

The upward slant exhaust tips will come up where the number plate is now

Also have a spoiler sprayed up that is ready to collect. 

At the moment the car has no temperature gauge. The ECU software has a protection setup so it will cut the revs if it goes over a certain threshold. I could probably get the gauge working but I want to know the exact temperature so decided to have a CAN gauge that gives me real time information from the ECU. This gauge means I can see, water temp, boost pressure, inlet air temperature (lower=more power) lots of other info. Ordered it and it was delivered to a neighbour who has gone away for the weekend, at least I have the weekend to drive the car instead of wiring that thing in. Can Bus wiring is pretty straight forward even for a novice like me.
