if you dip them in urethane , or enamel or something, basically any kind of paint/rubber material that will stick to them you need not worry.

i think you have ideas mixed up in your mind. im assuming you used urethane perhaps out of a caulk tube type of deal? for your mounts?. they make urethane products for marine use & such in more so of a paint style.... something that is more semi-liquid is what you need that way it penetrates the braided mesh to give good protection.---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

Well, been trying to mock up a dump/down pipe for the motor, and looks like I found a way to make it work.
Orginally I was looking for just a flange (hahah good luck finding that) to make my own. Since I came up empty handed I began looking for a dump pipe that I could mod. eventually I found this one:
the RB20/RB25 dump pipe. Its small and SS so I can weld it to my pipe if needed... its a divorced pipe, but since I am running an external wastegate, I only need the main pipe...
Which means loads of fun customizing teh parts
The bad thing I realized is that my cold side is on the passenger side... so looks like I either have to run the VAF inline (which I will probably do since there is no room on the passenger side for it) or I lose all my amenities. Texas heat pwns me, so hello VAF placed after the turbo. Should be interesting.
Suckie thing is that they wont ship the dump pipe until the 4th of Nov, so looks like I got time to work on some other crap.

VAF after turbo is prone to leaking. you best have that cap sealed good & ducttaped on---Has ClubProtege helped you in someway? show your support by Contributing--- Click Here---

more updates....
bought this today...
points the wrong way, but I plan on modding it to work with my down pipe and exhaust. Nice thing is it comes with all the bolts and gaskets for just 100 bux. (115 shipped)
Its a divorced pipe, but I have an external wastegate I want to run. I'll probably block off the internal wastegate and remove the wastegate pipe.

I'm eager to see how this turns out, but I can't give you crap about being too slow. I've been working on putting my turbo in for just as long and I'm not even doing an engine swap. Keep up the good work.
Well I butchered the flange off of the dump pipe that I ordered off of ssautochrome last week. Next I have to weld the dump pipe closed so I can use my extrenal wastegate. After that I plan on boring out the exhaust hole another 1/4 in or so to get it to flow better into my custom dump pipe.
I also mounted the rad last nite... that thing is going to sit REALLY close to the hood... I may even have to chop a bit of the support on the backside of the hood for it to close properly. After I get that mounted, and the IC mounted I can begin cutting/fabricating all necessary pipes.
jeez I need some pics... I'll try to get those when I get off of work.
