Yes, we offer OMP lines for 2nd gen but prices vary depending on the model of the car. They're also special order items so it takes a little longer to get.

Although theyre undoubtedbly beneficial, you can still melt the internal teflon in braided lines. One should still take the recaution of shielding the stainless lines from heat as well.

Yes, the heatshield fits in any T04 Base turbine housing and it is also big enough to fit in the Greddy T78 and 88 turbo.

I have a polished stainless heat shield that doesn't fit my T78 turbine housing but would fit a T4 perfectly (as it was made specifically for that). I'm back in town BTW. Arrived late this evening. Package from Gotham was there with my new lines, heat shield and belts! Nice work guys. Products look great.

Yes actually I do since I do not have a use for it :-) I think Harrison gets first dibs on all my "old" parts though. I also just bought two new HKS filters with 100mm openings to be used on GReddy T78 and such kits. One is the regular powerflow with the green filter (but you can buy blue, orange, gray, red, etc...extra filters for like $12) and one of the new Metalflows. So I'm selling the Powerflow which is in new condition. I did modify it for a vacuum nipple for the OMP nozzles however. So I have that for sale as well if anyone is interested. I did this instead of one of the K&N's because I have a vented hood (Knight Sports carbon). Problem is, the vent is right over the tip of the filter so if it rains, it hits the filter. That in turn causes the oil to be washed away leaving you with a worthless filter. I put a small "shield" over the top but it restricted flow. The HKS units won't have this problem and they're nice and large for no restriction. Wide but not deep so they clear the FMIC with repositioned radiator setups too which was my initial problem.



The stainless heat shield is very thick guage material and fully polished. High quality, but it just didn't fit the larger T78 exhaust housing.
