2) Will the location of the pump reduce it's efficiency from the heat coming from the exhaust, or can that be completely negated with an intercooler?

Thanks,

Looks great!
The Rotrex blower is more expensive but not twice as much, At the end of the day you get what you pay for .

Now for the blower location the factory manifolds are very well shielded so we are not really worry about that, only one way to know, A lot of testing and data logging .

The blower is not really that close to exhaust manifold, I will have to take some better pics of that area and in the event you do have after market headers, I would recommend the Thermo-Tec Exhaust Insulating warp, it works very well

Thanks for the response Sam. I was thinking of wrapping the headers anyways but good to know that there should be sufficient space.

I'm loving this kit, I really can't wait to see this thing get set up and see some vids.
