You still in Brooklyn? I was in the area about three weeks ago.

Ugh, that blanket took three hours to install! So, so tight down there, but still had room for those retaining springs to pass by the wg lever and around the flanges. Routing the springs required attaching guide wires and some manual prestidigitation!

Just got back from a quick drive to decompress, and popped the hood to take a look-see at the new blanket. The heat wave that normally hits my face just isn't there anymore! Man, I've been hearing, since the beginning of this build, suggestions to ceramic coat, wrap, blanket, protect the piping, turbo, etc. Some of it you heed, and some of it you don't, and some of it you learn by trial and error and then realize what you should have done in the first place. This is one of the latter for if I had done this I probably wouldn't have blistered the paint on my hood. I have to wonder if I would have even needed the liner I put under the hood. In any case, it's night and day with the blanket...I'm impressed!

Interesting, but having experience with domestic transmission, you'd benefit if you could tune the transmission.

But this looks very subtle. -I think.

Amen...I'm considering a couple of options. First, I learned about Forced Four Engineering's "simple to use automatic transmission handheld shift box," and then learned of Fastworks', (formerly UVTune, in which I'm currently a beta tester) ability to accomplish the same.

Found a guy on NE Lancer forum on FB who was parting out his DSM and got this for $40. It was brand new, as far as I could tell, but maybe not, for one of the retaining springs was already used. Either way, it was good deal.

Nice! I'm thinking about doing this soon...maybe in the spring when the heating bill comes down...
