Tell me about it! Most nights I hang out inside until my daughter goes to bed, around 7 or 7:30, then go outside to work so I'm not leaving my wife alone with her every night. Plus I kinda like hanging out with them 
I got a roll of heat wrap, should I put it on the turbine-to-turbine pipe and the downpipe? Did you guys heat wrap your hot side parts or leave them alone?
My down pipe is just VHT'd, turbine to turbine pipe has one of levi's blankets on it.
personally, id wrap the down pipe and get levi's stuff for the tubine piping and housings

I did everything I could to keep under hood temps down. I say wrap it at the least, or get blankets like James said.
Wrap it! You don't want to end up like those old people on the cruze ships getting your bore punched
Got a little more done this afternoon.
Filter head relocation bracket
Cartridge sitting on the turbo brace
Got the hot side pipe that goes between the two turbos wrapped and installed. The fiberglass wrap sucks, my arms are all itchy.

Put something around that heater hose going to the heater core. My GMC rubbed a hole in it when I had the twins.
Getting really close. Last piece I have to put on is the downpipe, and a few small things to button up.
Here's what I ended up doing with the fuel return line, it's the one that snakes between the two pipes in the center.
Cold side pipes done.
Had to trim my airbox tray and support bracket to clear the passenger side cold pipe.
Decided to add a sight tube to the new coolant tank, it was a little painful drilling holes since the powder coat looked so nice, but I think it turned out ok.
Installed, located the tube between the tank and the fender to keep it out of the way and away from the heat.

GFYS! :hug:
Everything is done but the oil lines
Downpipe was tight, had to get the BFH out and clearance the bottom corner of the cab a little bit.
Added a Wehrli sticker just because
Proof that 10 lbs of shit fits in a 9 lb bag
Make sure that down pipe isn't touching the cab at all... It will drive you nuts vibrating. It will also bang the cab when you shut the truck off if not clearanced enough.
