They will melt where they come to the wastegate, trust me. I have the same setup. I'm moving the packs this winter to the upper left side of the engine. Throttle response is a bit smoother, but they're mostly for show...
 
Well I guess I'll join in on this. I posted this pic up with others of my car a while back but here it is again. I know the VC looks orange but it's just the light - it's actually very close to the body color.

hard to tell...nothing that makes a huge difference...i put the new valve cover on and figured i'd upgrade the wires too....i was going to get the kit for the msp, that relocates everything to the rear left of the engine bay, but it was even more $ so i went with this one....i have a bracket that keeps the wires elevated and off the wastegate, seems to work well!

where'd you get them? and how much were they?
 
Those wires are for looks basically... I heard it might actually hurt performance.
 
I don't exactly know, but I'd do a search on spark plug wires and there was a debate on this before.

Supposedly if you did a search for "nology" under google, the first or second link was to some guys page at which he claimed the wires hurt his car. Even Magnecor's website says they might hurt performance (well of course) - something about capacitive discharge...?
 
I say, as long as your car is working fine, replace the stock spark plug wires with itself. Try searching for 1.8 spark plug wires.
