if he is going to write somthing on his intercooler and asking about how to do that simple stuff (no offense to that guy) but he probly aint goin for a 9 sec car. so no big deal in my opinion. im gonna do it just to see who i can make believe i dont have a turbo. some stupid ricer kids hopfully. it will be good for a laugh. oh and i am gonna paint it all black i forgot to add.

I am most likely going to paint mine completely black, I'm not really going to be building a drag car here, it will be a daily driven beater, so I can finally garage my evo and stop putting so many miles on it. I was just curious if people masked those lines to get them straight, and couldn't really think of what I would put on my intercooler anyways. Thanks for all the input guys.

Kind of hard to dyno the effects of an intercooler anyway, seems how the car isn't moving.

yeah, yeah, there's fans, but still It's not quite the same.

yeah that is a little off.

Painting the intercooler isn't gonna affect it too much.
