interesting, I'd like to see what it ends up costing you. There are so many used parts on this forum nowadays, this seems to be the way to go...

Which I am not.
Until i get tuned by Church automotives, I'd probably run Revhard 10psi base map.
Spent bit less than $3G so far.
New parts would have put it way up to $5G-6G area.
Bought used electronic parts as well; those themselves cost well over $1G.
1. Need kpro before i install the kit. Another $400-450 upgrade from Hondata Reflash.
2. Need heat Wrap.
3. Need raidator heat resistant black paint for intercooler.
I would love to get intercooler andonized, but budget is tight at the moment..
Also want HKS ssqv blow off valve instead of my vortech; cause vortech bov sounds horrible.
+ I am saving money on the side for K24.
P.S; When the hell did you guys move to FL, damn I have been out of forum for awhile.

Dye becomes a part of the metal; no effect on cooling properties of the intercooler.
But then, cost too much; probably not worth it.
That's why I am picked cheaper way, thin coat of radiator paint...
