It's crackle black spray paint, the tmic has been behaving just now, not seeing much above 18 degrees air charge temp.
But then I've not been top end of third and fourth where it's usually a problem.

 

Awesome. Looks like it could be OEM, that.

Lovin the crackle finish - very 'Ferrari'.

Skills.

 

Cheers! much better than the cheap looking bare aluminium I think, the oem feel is what I aim for, so objective achieved i think

 

I agree!

 

Looks awesome, any pics of the heat exchanger?

I'm in Aberdeen Mon / Tues next week if you're near there also.

 

35 mins south of abz, you staying over in ABZ?

 

I'll get one the morn, it's a cut down Intercooler off a VW crafter van

 

Yeah, AB11 postcode, Bath Street. Will have a car though.

 

Feel free to come down for a BS Monday evening. I can show you round the garage/car

 

Ok cool, PM me your number and address and I'll let you know what time I can get down.

 

Some slow progress on my new engine build, in the quest for more power.

 

How's this coming along?

Kind Regards,

Subaru Collector 555.

 

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.

 

Bit of an update, car is now running a high compression (8.9:1) forged and pinned 2.5 with a 20g tubro and sard racing too mount intetcooler.
I have also fitted a megasquirt ecu and I'm running a flex fuel sensor for methanol mix.
Ran a 12.32 last weekend.
