There's a thread on here somewhere that telly you how to wash your engine bay, you have to cover a few things but apparently u just spray some stuff let it sit then hose it down

The key is to not let your engine bay get to that point... needs an intercooler and moar boost imo.

im gonna be intercooling it and going to probably a 3.33 pulley by next summer, i know its not much but i still have to pay for the install stuff, so thats gonna be taking a little. is there a front mount that i dont have to cut my bumper support for? kerns sent me a link for a piece that you can bolt on for extra support after you cut it but i dont even want to have to cut it, i guess I could use that piece if it comes down to that

The link i sent you is actually a front bumper support replacement. It is a tubular support that replaces your existing bumper support so you just remove the old one... No cutting involved.
