cardboard isn't going to help at all.my DSM's heat used to be fuckin awesome, i'd turn the car off, come back 30 min later and it'd still be warm... then a month or two ago, it just stopped working well.
here's what i do... drive it normally till it gets up to temp, and them i stomp the gas and boost alot and my heat gets warm
i'm a ricer.anyway, they have heated seat covers at target you should look in to it
Yeah it may come to somekind of plug into the cig lighter heater or something.

Geez guys just try changing the t-stat. they will still function but will sometimes stay stuck open enough not to create enough heat from the engine to heat your heater core. Jim, if it used to heat good and doesn't now, that's probably it. If not, try to back flush your heater core. It's not hard to do. Both my previous DSM's heated excellent even in sub zero conditions.

mine works just fine. takes maybe 5 minutes to get warmed up and then the heat works great. i have a big problem with the windows getting all icy and fogged over while im driving though.Make sure your vents are open I had a big prob with that too. Opening the vents helped alot.

I have no problem heating up in my DSM. Problem I have is the damn dipstick keeps popping out coating my engine in nice oil. Don't worry Weshole I am going to pinch the dipstick tube and do the thing with the oil valve since I am home now back in the great WI until the 7th.

my dipstick popped when my car was stock...and i got pulled over at that same time so the cop let me off cause i told him i thought i just blew my car up and i just got it from the shop lol
oh yeah and i only had a turbo for exhaust and he offered his flashlight under the hood lol -
Thath must have been nice just having a turbo for the exahust. No boost lag whatsoever.
Did you pinch the tube in order to stop it?

it only that one time...more smoke than i ever wanna see from my car again...scared the hell out of me let me tell ya...it was right after i got the new motor running so i was just taking it for a test drive before it was modding time...
there was no lag anyway...it was a 13g strapped on there and that sucker practically spooled at idle...ask jeremy how it was against his 14b
