I can easily stick my fingers between the engine and compressor. There's probably enough clearance to get some 1/2" think insulation or heat-shielding in there

Measured at the point of least clearance, the ruler is sitting on the little unused raised bolt-hole you see in the next picture.

Additionally, I completed the paint job on the kit by finishing the UIM. Once I'd cut away the masked areas to expose the silver lettering, I coated it with several layers of gloss clear-coat high-temp engine enamel for longevity/durability.

So yeah - busy/productive couple of weeks! I don't know when I will actually get this sucker installed, but the time is drawing near for sure and I'm getting excited! I think I've got most of it figured out at this point, except for the wiring situation - that's the only thing that's gonna throw me. And I still need a supercharger base-tune as well. Gotta figure that out before starting as well.

Holy crap this thing is enormous! It barely fits! Also, it turns out I did have the second-generation upgraded aluminum Pettit BOV instead of the crappy first-gen plastic one, but oh well.

Is this correct? Can someone verify if I've got the flow direction right on this or tell me if I put it on backwards somehow?

Spacer fits perfectly on an M8 stud, and seems like it will be the right width with the water pump installed. That M8 hex-head bolt you see here is a temporary mount I just found in my garage; the real 150mm M8 double-ended stud (just like the original from the Pettit kit) is coming in the mail in a week or so. I had to order two, so if anyone needs an extra one it's up for grabs as I won't need a second one.

I also received my M8 12mm aluminum spacer for the water-pump mounting bracket! I have two extras if someone needs one.

I got my LRB Speed aluminum intake tray! Apparently I've gotta bend it into shape myself though...
