OH, and Costa, don't get frustrated when trying to line all the boots and pipes up. 
. It can get frustrating having to go back and forth with trying to get them back in so all the clamps work. Make darn sure the clamps are on right. I do know what it sounds like when a boot is blown off while WOT. It's louder then you think. I thought I blew the engine.

I think you will get this done with no problems, but the offer is there. I have had a few Texas FTE guys come here and help we with some mods.

Chris on another thread Brandon suggested the Gunk degreaser worked really well. I think I am going to start with that and after the new boots go on I'll trhy to maintain it with a monthly simple green?

Mine has that too! I guess i'll find out if the gunk gets it off or not. If you try it before I do let me know if it works, I'm gonna give it a try this weekend-I hope!

I used a couple coats of that Grill/Oven cleaner stuff. Kind of like Easy-Off, but I found it at Home Depot for cleaning grills, too. Here's a before/after:
Before:
After:
I *REALLY* like the wire wheeled look, Robin. May have to pull mine off again...

That is the spider I got from Kris when I did the turbo upgrade. It was painted red and when I took the wire wheel to it I liked what I saw as the paint came off. Once all the paint was off I used a less stiff wire wheel and just feathered it out.
The oven and/grill cleaner works good too, especially for the baked on crud.
