The guy who invented the silver heat retardant tape/foil used to live in my Father-in-laws neighborhood if I recall. I've been using the DEI gold tape for many years where it's needed to heat reflection and it works very well.
If memory serves, you were skeptical on the pic I posted of my F450 turning back 22mpg...
Are you planning on doing a before and after dyno?
Yes! I posted awhile back a pic of the Sti producing 430ish hp at 21psi, but I would like to clean up the fuel a bit more before I post more.
My plan for this year for the 996 is to get the box installed and tune the car on a dyno with the X50 ICs in, then, if I have time this year, put in the new ICs and see what we get. I am having a horrible time trying to get new turbos.
Aren't they "late in the game" in terms of cooling benefit?
Yep, but the guy I had dynamically polish the car in the spring slipped and marked the passenger side tip damaging the finish. This is purely for aesthetics because I am unable to reproduce the original ti polished/blued finish economically.

Just think of what can be had with a much deeper dive... That film works well, he must have done well with it. Was he DEI (I am familiar with them) or did he just sell them the tech?

Darrick, thank you, and you too are so very handy. I note at the end of the article, there is a fellow who did this and achieved some interesting results.
I am pretty sure this is how mine would end up looking should I try this myself...
I cannot reformat the pic to post it, but it isn't pretty...
Anyone else have a ridiculous amount of gorilla tape and epoxy holding their plastic interior together? My map light cover broke off as i was trying to shut off the bright lights so i used gorilla clear tape to hold it in. My wooden shift **** is repoxied but i need to sand it down and ad a grip pattern. Some of my buttons are epoxy dipped and my center console needs to be layered in epoxy so its not all scratched up. Am i too rough with this interior?
