You could get yours powdercoated for far less
I'm very sceptable about the power increase.

I've got a Twin Screw supercharger on mine,
now that does make a big difference in power.

To be fair he's only claiming a modest 30bhp power increase... With a smaller pulley and ported supercharger it isn't fair off what others claim...

After seing those pics I'm tempted to have a go at painting/powder coating mine when I have it off in the summer now. I can't help but feel it's a little counter productive to have an extra layer of insulating powder-coat on the charge cooler though.

A nice dremel/autosol polish and then some laquer would be a better choice in maintaining efficiencies perhaps?

I hope to be having it off before the summer, heh heh.

I am watching the kit and have to say I am tempted, I can see it nudging £1000.

Guess we will never know, when I come to upgrade I shall do a rolling road test before and after and post the result. then we can put the doubts to bed one way or the other.

The kit looks great though....
