ChaseZ likes me a lot (like analysis - whats your ratio?)

The other thought is by not running any sort of wrap on it would the aluminum charge pipe dissipate some heat as the air travels through it, keeping AIT's lower than any intervention. I don't know the answer which is why I'm playing around wit it. Only a couple of zip ties to undo and find the answer.

Plus the Ti heat wrap looks boss. The reflective stickers look like a blind guy wrapped a candy cane and something you'd find on a 10 year old subie with a fart can.

There's also ceramic urethane coatings and such but that's not so easy to just try.

And it keeps me occupied enough I don't get tempted to start charting likes
