When I get a spare, that's what I'm doing. I'm just afraid my **** is going to look like Halloween

When people laugh at you, just run them over.

The mustang guys have this concept figured out

Why else do you think I bought a diesel dully. When they laugh at me for being gay and driving a miata. I go home and get my F350. They then laugh because I am gay and have a small *****, then I run them over and roll coal over their dead bodies.

External Temp

Street car stuff.

Once I build a heat shield for the intake filter this should be pretty close to exterior temp. Especially if i get a NACA duct in there.

Does it even work? The prosport I used to have moved around when you pressed the throttle but the engine was off.

Works well enough for my needs. It moves when I make boost. And moves less when I blow intercooler couplers.

But then you didn't change out the 10mm VVT line bolts...lame.

I considered doing something like this on my car, but then hated the idea of needing multiple tools to tear apart the top of the engine and coils. So I cut down 90-93 valve cover bolts to custom lengths for the coils and upper timing covers. #baller

Valve cover bolts are shcs too. It's just a 10mm and a set of Allen keys. No issues.
