looking forward to seeing the logs before/after the chargecooler going in i have to say - when are you taking orders?
It's crackle black spray paint, the tmic has been behaving just now, not seeing much above 18 degrees air charge temp.

Hi, getting there, 2.5 is in and running, however it will be comming out for a rebore and oversize Pistons as its a bit noisey. I do like the drivability and torque of the 2.5 though! Very responsive off boost as well as powerful on boost.
