I'm actually only wrapping the pipe closest to the supercharger. I don't want the heat from the header to melt the hoses connected to the SC. Wrapping will insulate the header and keep the heat inside. The other pipes I will leave as is, but the 1/4" or less space between the two doesn't give me that warm fuzzy feeling...
crap...talk about no space, thats tight as hell! i wonder if the jacksons took any other extra precautions, or if the hoses are a bit more heat resistant?

So after all that work have there been any issues with this kit so far? I know that oscar and kraftwerks have been on this project for a super long time, but you never know what can happen in the shipping and mass production.
Oh, does anyone have this thing on fully running good to go 100% done besides chris?

Illusive's Fit is now SC'd and running under it's own power.
Power delivery is very smooth and it now feels normal and gutsy not underpowered and gutless like mine

lol its definitely a lot more enjoyable! Couple things to note:
1: Air Filter and hose connector are rubbing against the fiber board underneath the hood. Will probably end up cutting away 1/3 of it for clearance.
2: Vibrating metal on metal sound, probably a brake line vibrating against the frame or against one another. Only happens when I'm under load and accelerating. More noticeable in 1st and 2nd gear, but can still hear it every so often in other gears usually at higher RPMs (>3k).
Anyways, just some minor details to sort out.
Big thanks to JDMish and Mr_ET for installing the SC for me! It was one helluva project, but it was definitely worth it! Left JDMish in my dust when we went for a first drive! Thanks to YeeFit for saving us a hell of a lot of time with wiring in those gauges.

If it wasn't raining today, I was going to take her out and make a vid. Too bad
The spooling of the SC under load sounds soooooo aweeesome!!! It's taking in so much air, I can hear the intake from inside the car hahaha!

So Anyone Know What Kinda Gauges I Should Get..i Need Something That I Can Hide..lol..i Don't Want Them To Be Seen By Anybody But Me...i Was Thinking About Putting It Inside My Glove Compartment....my Parents Can't Know I Got A Supercharger..lol..Also What Gauges Do I Really Need?

You don't "need" gauges with the KW kit, just if you want them. You might be better off not getting them if your parents will get upset, and especially if you can't even see (and enjoy) them.
