[s-cars] Phenolic spacers & turbo h2o feed line

[brian hoeft]

thanks for the responses guys.  I appreciate part numbers and once again
woulda,coulda,shoulda just called SJM and been good!

and sorry to hear of your unfortunate event Trevor, I will definitely have a
look at the water manifold.

also, Sean, didnt you paint your IM black? I thought that was you..

I understand the principles of heat retention,convection, but question just
how much its effects would be..

thanks again, brian
