Wish you weren't doing the long tube intake the same time you're replacing that UIM, but it is what it is. Wrapping the mid pipes in thermal tape, eh? IDK if that really matters, however it certainly can't hurt.

Looking forward to hearing more about that UIM install. I've not gathered a good opinion about engine cover fitment over that, and I do love to maintain a prett engine bay, so...

Impressive set of Xmas toys you got there. From what I've read about that manifold, it's a happy bump under the curve. Very nice, turbotwiggs.

You should start a build thread, if you haven't already. Probably more appropriate anyway.

Ya I probably will and I will probably install the manifold first and wait a few days to do te intake... Maybe even do a DIY/review on it. So if you have questions omit ask away I will do my best to get answers

I went to Woodford Reserve today and came across the abandoned The Old Taylor Distillery Company. It was locked up but I really want to go back and explore it.

It's different. I'll give you that, but I'm not a huge fan. As long as you're happy with it thats all that really matters. I'll give you props for making your G your own.

I think you need a Turbotwiggs build thread.

Other than that, I think it will look fine once it gets painted.

What are you going to do w/ the chrome spoiler area? Looking forward to more pics Turbotwiggs. IMO the chrome wouldn't look right and a painted spoiler wouldn't match, possibly a carbon oem spoiler or Stillen spoiler in carbon (if that's possible).

As of right now the spoiler is being painted black and possibly swap it with a carbon spoiler in te future. Got a lot of choices to make on this thing so it will probably be a nice steady slow paced build.

And yes I'll have a build thread up tonight with a bunch of pictures and updates as much as possible

Congrats kOrE! I've always thought with the right build a G37xS Twin Turbo could be one of the best sleeper cars.

Is he going to TT it, or are we just playing what-if's?
