im also very surprised you didnt put the temp paint on the intercooler to see what kind of temps it was running
but so far really nice looking setup

Thank you!
Intercooler location was selected to minimize charge pipe length and number of bends (optimize airflow and throttle response).
Temperature paint wasn't used on the intercooler as its indicating temp window is roughly 600-1200 degrees F (doesn't indicate under 600F). Great for exhaust and brake components, but intake components don't get anywhere near that hot.
Cheers.
