Looks good. I hope you cover that wire loom. It's gonna deform that close to the downpipe.
My ceramic bottom mount is hotter than wrapped top mounts. Not in terms of peak local temps at the valve cover area, but in terms of general radiated heat. Ceramic seems to only be a corrosion inhibitor. Wrapping or using that metal shielding with insulation seemed to be the best way to keep the heat back.
It would nicer/cleaner if the wires are run in the valley under the coil packs but is too close to the heat source from downpipe.maybe a simple "L" sheet metal shield screwed into that PR bottom section then lay the wires there and the sheet metal would protect it?It'll be fine there, I shoved mine in the valley in front of the coils to get it out of the way. Been working with Robert to get a better kind of wire solution, seems people have the most issues with that since you have to push them in deep not just with your fingers usually. As for the rear bolt it's not really necessary, the test kits weren't bolted in at all. People who check plugs a lot tend to leave the mount loose.
Looks like a really nice kit.
Has anyone else ever noticed that the PR logo looks very similar to the VW R-line logo from the 04 R32
Definitely noticed that.....I used to have a mkIV R32. That logo is definitely a bite off the VW
I had this problem also. I had to use the end of a ratchet handle and push hard on top of the coil to pop them down even further, it was just not possible using my hands
would think this will cause wire failure issues and tracking. I would like to see them lengthened before I buy any.
