    Where I am locating them, I probably won't need heat shields, although, I still might make some simple heat shields. There are several factors that may make additional heat shields unnecessary:

    1. The exhaust is more centralized and not near the intercoolers at all.
    2. The ducted air from the door intakes will be routed to the intercoolers.
    3. Each intercooler has fans drawing air from the door intakes through the intercoolers.

    The struggle is real... and yes, it is taking me a long time to get this done considering that normal life gets in the way every day.

    Life has gotten in the way of progress unfortunately. Recently I had to deal with another vehicle which needed my attention (98 Jeep Wrangler with suspension problems/vibrations) totally derailed my progress. Thankfully, that appears to be solved, I will be back in the garage working on the Ferrari again tonight.

    Tell me about it... I shouldn't be such a nice person. I did get a little bit of preparatory work done yesterday on the electronics. I am working on finishing the electronics test bench to make sure that everything is working the way is it supposed to prior to actually putting it all in the car and then finding out that I need to rip it all out just to get to something stupid.

    Sorry for the horrendously late reply!

    I happened to get it thrown in with the engine deal. As you say it's commonly used in motorsport but has all the functionality you need for a good road installation too.

    I eventually finished and sold my car, it got picked up by a dealer and it's now here:
    1999 Lotus Exige 1.8 £49,950

    From what I know it still needs more time on the dyno to get the mapping finished perfectly though.

    Give us a 2017 update on yours! :)
