Turned my attention today to putting the Stern Adjustable upper control arms back in the car after sending them off to Pure Motosport to be refurbished.
Also took the opportunity to adjust the height setting of the Stasis/Ohlin Motorsports and add some more Boeshield T-9 on the threads.
Was hoping to get to the 034 front swaybar end links but they’re buried somewhere so that’ll have to wait.
Took advantage of some warmer weather to get out and wrap the K03 turbochargers in Thermal Zero’s turbocharger blankets (k16/k24 model).
Also added a piece of DEI Titanium exhaust wrap around the tops of the K03 turbine housings to cover the area where the Turbo blankets come together because there are some gaps around the exhaust manifold.

I was also able to check the movement of the wastegate arm and it was not impeded by the turbo blanket.
The downpipes were coated with Swaintech white lightning ceramic coating and then wrapped in DEI’s titanium exhaust wrap. I sprayed the DEI wrap with their silicone spray in order to lessen the chance of any of the fabric fraying – we’ll see how the silicone spray and fabric wrap hold up.
The exchange rate must be decent right now because the price of the 2.8 camshafts has come down from where I saw it a couple of years ago when I last looked into these. I decided to take advantage of the nice price and pick up these 2.8L camshafts now although I don’t have any immediate plans to put them to use.
