Static X Motorsports VF39 ThermoTec Turbo Wrap and Downpipe Wrap Kits (UPDATED) - Page 2

***staticx313*** · 04-29-2005, 09:33 AM

Awesome GTP, we'll have them finished up tonight. Thanks a ton man! Pictures to come.

Salty - as soon as I see how much material was used up in Jason's 20G turbo, I will see the same amount to you ok and will compare that to the VF39 usage and just gauge a price from that. Pictures of the 20G were posted and the VF39/TD04 are coming soon.

Okay Robert, I'll give it a try. Order placed.

***staticx313*** · 05-11-2005, 10:20 AM

YESsssssssss

All the kits are shipped except for one. Which I am going out to make now. I will add some pictures up top of the wrap and the wrap on the car.

Also, just a warning, the kit will smoke the first day of use (we did not ship the kits as we were worried there may have been a problem). They said it was fine and everything is fine. The pictures of the on-car were taken after this happened and you can see nothing is burnt/altered or anything of the sort. So don't sweat it!!

Uploading pictures now...

Edit - Sorry, I will get better pictures now... also as in picture 4, the wires will X like that in front of where the uppipe goes into the turbo. This held very well and pulls the kit tight on the turbo (although if you can get the turbo off or get behind the uppipe, going behind it will work as well for the back wires).

Thanks again!

**BTW, our car's engine bay is ridiculously cooler (We had no heat shield/wrap before) and the FMIC piping is much much much cooler. On top of that the car spools VERY fast. With the FMIC on I can hardly tell that extra bit of lag we had when we first put it on. Anyways... we'll see what everyone else thinks. You should all be getting your kits in tomorrow**

Yep!!

well i installed it this morning. i did it without removing the intercooler , the downpipe, or any other parts. took me about 20+ min to do it and thats because i put it on backwards at 1st. one side has longer ties on it and that side goes towards the back which i didnt relise and so i had to take it off and flip it around after i had it almost done. can definatly see/feel a differance in throttle responce/turbo spool up. great mod for the price and ease.

***Datadatum*** · 05-13-2005, 07:33 PM

I got mine yesterday, but I'm not exactly sure what the installation technique is yet. The instructions read fine, but when I try to visualize... all blanks.

luSTI - did you happen to take any pics during the install?

luSTI · 05-13-2005, 07:57 PM

nop i did not....not too much to take pics of as far as the install but i will try to take some pics tom of it installed and explain it some to u.

normansti · 05-13-2005, 08:40 PM

do you feel a difference in power? and do you cover the whole downpipe with it too, or does it just cover the turbo?
