I've had my thermal under hood protector off since the begining of this past summer. Haven't had any ill effects.

The zzp wp ones might be able to work. This is something that still has to be confirmed?

IAT extensions are not necessary for Series 1.
Underdrive WP pulleys made for the GP will not fit even the S2 SSEi as you might suspect. The motor mount must be ground to clear the belt path.

hmm too bad about the wp pulley.
I really curious about putting a series 1 L67 tb on there. Is there any reason why is wouldn't work? I know they vary in size according to year with the largest being ¿¿70 mm??

Platinum is bad for SC'd cars. I think I remember it bein okay for N/A, Although not worth the money.

Fords SC 3.8 comes with them stock as well, other boards have discussed this, and the heat range thing comes up there too.
Actually the TB'* look the same, the S2 is just rotated around 80*..I'm curious to have both off, and compare. Don't know if it works.
