Default Observations post split DP and K04 install. After-run pump kicks on more often now,

the engine compartment is obviously running a bit hotter than before.

Possibly due to heatshield removal which is necessary to install the split DP's.

Turbo timer may not be a bad idea at this point for piece of mind ?

It is a bit hot in SoCal also, but it still seems like the after-run pump is coming on much more often now.

Anyone else experience similar results ?

Thanks.

Default I was too lazy to re-install my heatshields after I installed regular downpipes, didn't notice an

increase in after-run pump kick-inedness FWIW.

Default Its not necessary to remove the heat shields to install the splits

however, be prepared to modify the opening for the top O2 sensor if you plan to keep them. Hope all goes well with you tomorrow Jonas.
