it's there for the most part. i don't, however, think the bottom peice is on there. and i never thought about that before but that might be where some of my heat is comming from. i will duct tape it shut and see how she runs. :D

Does your decklid have the seal? I found on mine when running without that seal it causes it to run quite a bit hotter as well, particularly the bottom piece.

man it has the triangle peice and the little duct thingy that blows the hot air outside the engine compartment. all the tin is there i made sure of it and compared 3 times with the book. even a couple of peices folks said i didn't need are in that booger.
