Hot Pipes should be here within the next two weeks. Car has 80K on the ticker and other than the boost leak, runs like a champ. Just wondering if I should replace anything else related to that "system". New BOV's, solenoid, vacuum hoses etc.?

Hey I wondered if you can spray down the engine compartment. Safe to do if you don't use a fire hose?
Its made to get wet. But dont get to carried away, pressure washer to the connectors is like driving in a hurricane with the hood off perpendicular to the storm at a 75 degree angle. Solve for X

Hit the engine bay with Simple Green first, soak for 5 minutes, then pressure wash.

So X would be any amount of pressure and cleaning solution that doesn't rip all electrical connections off the engine :) thank you sir!
