Straight-cut "tip" (3" Enthuza), shiny FMIC, loud BOV, GV lip..
Hiding it would be too much work. |
I forgot, I should post this for completeness. Hugh Jass muffler on my 3" exhaust with a 3.5" single wall slant cut tip. Painted (yes that's right folks) black.

There was a guy running around here with and old 80's Dodge Omni GLH that was making some where over 300 whp that had cut out the center three feet of his front bumper and replaced it with a painted air to air intercooler. From a distance you would never know it. Nice sleeper.

I have had both the actual RFL and the ebay version, so I can field your PMs. Mine vents right out from under my extractor hood... needless to say its loud.

I had a VW 1.8T badge when I first installed the turbo. I have since removed it and prefer the stealth look. It is just too much fun when people see how fast a girly car can be.

In CA, that's like asking "Do you advertise the fact that you are carrying several ounces of pot in the glovebox?" |
fuck cali

My I/C looks like a radiator unless you notice the pipes coming out the bottom of it. I've got blue A/F and boost gauges mounted on the A-pillar and a Forge VTA BOV. Nobody ever tries to race me. :confused: I guess people just assume I'm slow.

Sleeper as far as the turbo, but the car has to be MAN'ed UP. I have to put rims, roll bar and some paint. I like clean and questionable.

Sleeper all the way!! If it wasn't for the high probability of my car ending on the roof, i would not have added a roll bar.
IIRC there is only a 7% chance of rolling... |

it was a two lane road, speed limit was 45, i was coasting at 30 or so, i was screwing with the radio so i didn't even notice him until he revved. i looked over, still in 3rd, i got on it very gently, just enough to spool and let off, he had no clue it was boosted kid went from being soooo ready to race to turning almost white then he gave me a thumbs up, and made no attempt to get on it, i continued to play with my radio, i cant get it to keep my radio stations Then you run into the little tool bags with the scions and their aftermarket turbo setups.. I've yet to see one of those that could beat my stock MSM. One kid spent almost 6800$ turbocharging his toyota corolla coupe (tc scion) and runs like 14.8@79mph. Impressive. :confused: |
paint
Powerblock on Spike TV had a special on certain paints that help reflect and despenses heat. They said there are a few aftermarket companies that paint the underside of V8 intakes white to reflect heat, and the top black cause it despenses heat more evenly. It is probably BS. But you should be able to watch it on line if curious.
I don't think it will matter either way. If you want it black I would paint it. My brother wants to paint his black one silver so it can be seen. Lol |
I go right down the middle. Big fat shiny intercooler, loud BOV, and Miataturbo.net stickers in the quarter windows, but a straight-cut non-polished 3" tip at the back.
Sleeper enough to make E46 M3s think they can fuck with me :fm: |

I want ^ that'd be good for hiding my offset IC
|
OK, that settles it, new project... flat black the IC and muffler.
I'm headed to Florida this weekend for family shit... but when I get back, it's stealth time. And it's time for the MBC to go on until I get the EBC working. |
