I must say as nice as having an intercooler poking out so that people know your turbo is nice, having it black so that you only notice it up close looks even better

Its just painted with acrylic atm unit i go to the powder coaters
got a few bits to get done so doing them all at once :mrgreen:

just wanted to see what it looked like!

is there a huge difference in heat transfer between the acrylics and powder coat?

I was planning on just doing a light coat of acrylic as to not interfer with the heat transfer of the intercooler and hopefully the paint won't come off under the heat.

notice any problems with yours???
