Thats not mine, pulled it off instagram, i want it done but dont know if it might effect function hmmm any thoughts ?

I don't think it really matters. Remember, when you want the IC to cool the charge, there is huge amounts of air coming at it.

Perrin stealth black intercooler on previous sti build, this was powder coated iirc (from perrin)

Just going to see what @MAPerformance recommends a black powder coat or the wrinkle black finish

Aren't they both powder coat just one wrinkles?

The Frozen North

Awesome build and great taste in parts! I'm also looking to go this route very soon. Looking forward to your final review of your build. Thanks and keep the pics coming!:thanks:

i cheaped out on my car with the first setup, and now im trying to do it right by buying quality parts

Thank you :) i will do

Ding ding! We have also used that VHT wrinkle black paint and it works pretty dang well as long as its done correctly.

:bow:I guess I should have posted this here lol. I'm jealous of your turbo kit
I will be following this cuz I plan to get this kit in a month or two!

I used it on a Honda valve cover and it worked well.

You should have went Full Blown then. :wub:

Haha both companies make great work :)

I picked MAP for a few reasons

1) keeping a stock fan( This worked for @Jamsem ) as Fbm didnt have their shroud out yet
2) My tuner preferred the kit, and offered me a good deal on tuning it :) he stated something with the maf placement or piping size on fullblown that might be an issue as im chasing 4xxwhp but said fullblown kit is fully capable.
3) Turbo placement is nice on both kits, but the lower placement might help with heat too
4) Change is good :wub:
5) its something different
6) your cas was awesome :bellyroll:

I was just joking with you. I like the MAP kit, and I look forward to your results.
