That was the point of the title "teaser". I made the pic small intentionally. I've got some BIG ones.

What's that? I guess so for dismanteling a $6000 Radix!

All in the name of more power though right?

Me either but he did say he had some BIG ones. Ok, I'm done hijacking.

Are the screws inside polished or do they have a satin finish on them?

How about just switching over to a bigger heat exchanger (the one that mount underneath the bumper)?

I plan on going with a bigger exhanger under the bumper. I was mostly curious to know whether there was room for improvment in the exchanger under the blower. Since its a 2 part system, you are only as good as your weakest link. I needed to know if the blower exchanger was up to the task.

*tapping foor waiting patiently*

I did notice the good coating of oil from pulling the whole thing in the runners on the heads and the base of the blower.

Radix guys, be aware that installing a catch can requires the use of a check valve due to all the pressure created by the blower. You can't just install any old catch can that the N/A guys can. I was looking into this before I went on my trip....once I get back and my company leaves, I'll let you Radix guys know what I've found.
