I use the same type of blanket on mine. Not sure if it's the same manufacturer or not. Engine bay temps should drop drastically depending on the setup. Also, you'll notice your water and oil temps will be less likely to rise under load. They'll be easier to control. As far as tying the blanket down, I just "sit" mine on. It's not really tied down so there's evidently no need for wires on the tabs.

fart on a friends head!!!
is your wastegate plumbed to the inside of your car??? please tell me there is a dump-pipe for it. . . to be honest, you might wanna put a heat shield on the wastegate and its dump-pipe as well. that this is bound to cause AT LEAST premature thermostat failure.

Check out Pettit's Cool Power System (a bit pricey). It seems to be what you guys are discussing: http://www.pettitracing.com/rx7/index.htm
