LOL, funny you should say that cuz I have gotten a speeding ticket every year for the last 5 years, so I can not afford to get another one cuz I can't take the nice test to keep it of my record cuz FL has a lifetime limit of 5

1st drive to work in the rain
I was just minding my own business going to work down some backroads in the rain winding out 3rd gear when the boost built to a point at around 4500 rpm it caused my rear wheels to spin out. Never had that happen before the turbo while running down a straight level road in 3rd gear or any gear for that matter...I'll have to be more careful especially in the rain on the road otherwise I'll be off-road pretty quickly

New turbo blanket cover
Today I got the turbo blanket in and installed it. No video yet but I'll get it done soon
Not sure if its my imagination or not but the heat from the engine bay seems to be entering the cabin...hopefully this will help!

High flow muffler installed
I took the new high flow muffler to a pro to install and he also found and patched a pin hole exhaust leak at a weld just below the passenger manifold where the drivers side pipe joins it for the run up to the turbo. Yes you read that right, now I have more boost
