Pretty tight fit in there. Any particular reason why you wrapped the DP?

You never thought about high temp coating? I know it is a little late to think about it now, but I would rather do that than the wrap.

Full race stuff IMO is the best engineered kits out there and will produce the best gains but is a big pain in the *** to install.

The bloody knuckles, expletives, frustration, and beer breaks will be worth it once its done, good luck.

i like the full race kit, but the manifold looks cramped in there. It has room, but not very much. I would have bought there kit, but I was not comfortable with the room in there. So I bought the PeakBoost top-mount kit and am sure it will be a tight fit, but not as tight. I had the mani coated, but not the DP because I am running a different radiator. Any way congrats, I hope my swap will be as fun as yours.
