A few tweaks

A couple of changes to deal with the heat:

  1. A heat shield that goes between the CAT and the turbo air intake area to keep the inlet air temp as low as possible has been added. A shroud around the intercooler (in the pontoon) has also been added.
  2. Instead of drawing (hot) air from the engine compartment, the turbo air intake has been extended with a rubber boot such as the air is now drawn from the inside of the bumper.
The turbo compressor and air filter now run considerably cooler and will be a benefit in a whole bunch of ways.

New heat shield and turbo air inlet arrangement
We're now a week from travelling to Florida to inspect, dyno test and bring #1283 back to Texas!
