[s-cars] 1.8t Coil Pack Conversion - Update

[Nate Stuart]

For the record, I use the 'tech flex' style loom for all my wiring, no 
heat problems at all with the wiring and such in direct contact with the 
head temperatures and such. That plastic crap used to melt if you just 
looked at it funny. Javad is using the fiberglass sheathing to his 
wastegate line, inches from a glowing yellow-hot header on the dyno, not 
a problem at all for that stuff. And I recently used the Fiberglass Fire 
Sleeve stuff on an oil drain on the 1.8t challenge car that lives ~1/4" 
from the header, not a problem for that stuff.. thankfully. :)  So 
there's a good heat-scale for the products :)
Normal engine temps = Techflex
Owie my skin is starting to bubble temps = Fiberglas Sheathing
Hey... where did my hand go temps = Fire Sleeve

Tootles!
