at that power level, water seems kinda obsessively overkill safe.
maybe just an intercooler sprayer so you keep more lube on your cylinder walls (or is the steam cleaning thing a myth?)

Awesome steam cleaning, but lower EGT more than anything else. I don't know that it's necessary, but it provides an insane level of safety by cutting EGT ~300*f according to the interwebs. There's also the money issue considering I just spent $300 at Mazdaspeed, Parts Group, and I still need to buy fittings and pay the machinist for labor. This sucks, I need to start bringing my lunch to work or something.

Is this lower port supposed to be covered?
There were several open vacuum ports on the bottom of the plenum, that can't help either.
I started cleaning up the wiring today and cleaning up the "aftermarket" stuff I made into something that looks like a respectable harness with this:
I also stole a few connectors from it. I will no longer have a dozen green or yellow wires, I will have wires I can chase. I also switched the IAT and oil pressure sensors to the right side of the car for routing, soldered all of my LC1 grounds to one big ring connector, wrapped almost everything in loom, fresh electrical tape on everything, and consolidated wires into loom to settle everything down. I borrowed some factory clips from the junk harness so things are bolted down instead of zip-tied. I still need to move the oil cooler, clean up all the wiring under the dash, pull the AC evap, figure out the heater situation, and get ARTech to make hardpipes for my coolant reroute. Then, phase 2 is the SS fuel lines and fire sleeve around anything that sees heat. I also took the PCV port in the intake plenum, flipped it around to point forward and will use that for the BOV.

I'm thinking about adding EGT, again. However, I have nowhere to put the gauge. I have 3 gauges (oil temp, boost, AFR) in the radio surround, and water temp in the cluster. Any thoughts on where I can put this 5th gauge?
