Yes the outside of the compressor cover is powder as well.

Should hold up fine. Not sure how hot the compressor cover gets.
With the blanket on even after some drive time and a few short bursts I could put my hand on the turbine cover. And the downpipe.

Where can I get some of that intake tubing?... or what would you recommend using for an intake, been playing with some ideas but haven't come up with anything.

Thanks rick!

Kit looks great! Get it tuned, and get it to the track!

That is what makes it look like it came from the factory that way.

having the trans cooler blowing 160*+ air directly in to your inercooler doesnt seem like the best idea, but it all looks pretty good!

Nice. That 4" core is huge.
Looking forward to seeing what the air temps are like in the middle of summer.

tranny cooler line connections.
Cut the end off near the snap ring flare.
Then install bnut and sleeve 3/8 line. Flare the end.
Then start the tweeking and woo'ing the lines into place
it takes a good amount to get it all lined up.
But once aligned properly it all tightens up nicely.

Work looks great. To bad you couldnt keep that trans cooler underneath your FMIC so it wasnt transferring heat to it. Truck looks good.
