Very interesting. Any pictures? Did you run with or without the floor/pan (sorry, having a brain fart and can't remember what it's actually called right now)?

Unfortunately no pictures of value. However, I can describe it as wrapping the exhaust manifold up to the turbo and the exhaust piping around the oil pan.

I'll get more pics next time it's up on a lift.

I run the underbody trays but we slightly massaged the naca ducting to redirect a bit more air to the wastegate - marginal improvement IMHO.

I almost wish I did a before/after test to be honest because I don't know if the mods helped or I'm in the unaffected category.

Hello, sorry to revive an old thread but looking for some updates/help. Now that a few years has passed, is there a more solid answer to the solution?

After 1.5 years I finally experienced the dreaded 6PSI limitation on track. One interesting thing is, running on 91 - once I hit 252-255 oil temp I hit "limp mode"..

Running on 101 - the car pushed to 260-262 oil temp before cutting boost. I don't think this is a fuel issue obviously, still heat related.

I'll try bending out the under tray and doing my best to heat wrap as much as possible without removing my Soul 200 cat and manifold. My exhaust from the axles on are already heat wrapped.

outside of really hot/humid days, have those of you @ldamelio @Cayman_Sense had somewhat consistent success with this?

appreciate the long threat and details thus far!
