i personally love the black anodized look and i would love to do that to mine. I know with the radiator paint stuff it prevents the intercooler from dissipating heat as well as a bare aluminum one. I have heard the same about anodizing intercoolers...have you guys tested this at all yet? If so what was the temp. difference between 1 that was bare aluminum and 1 that was anodized?? Thanks.

Hey Guys,
I'm not sure why my reply didn't post that I posted a couple days ago. The Anodizing does not keep any more heat in since it chemically bonds to the aluminum changing the properties of the metal. Paint on the other hand can really keep heat in. It's really more of an ascetic thing then a performance gain. You will also notice most heat sync and A/C units are anodized black as well.
Thanks Guys!
