mjw,
Air intake temps per PFC peak hold value running 12psi boost on the long course at VIR last fall (ambient temps near 85deg*F*) I was seeing air intake temps near 100deg*C*. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to get some new data to support my switch from the PFS "system" to the CWR "system"
pomanferrari,
I remember as to how to polish the plenum whew well.... a drill, sanding disks starting at 150 grit or whatever is necessary to remove the rough finish, work your way down to 350 grti then 600 as a final before polishing then use either a red or black polishing stick with a good buffer. Be prepared to spend A LOT of time and have some sore muscles.

Crispy

3rdGenLvr,
Alas the PFS intake and IC were sold in order to fund the CWR schtuff.
forcefed1,
You're too kind...I'm blushing. My occupation? "gubment slug"...specifically? A mechanical engineer working in the nuclear power industry where mistakes and shoddy workmanship can be costly. Knowaddamean?

beautiful job, incredible attention to detail....reminds me of Rob Robinette's old car
I installed my M2 medium in about 2 hours and it works great....I'm not patient enough to spend six days tweaking and polishing stuff, I just like to haul ***

Chris,
I must say you might have the world record for time spent installing an IC and intake
The end result is stunning though, as to be expected of the Crispy Mobile.
I wish I could stop working on customer cars and get back to that fun fabrication intensive install stuff on my car.
See you in Aug.

Duane Krumweide wrote me back about the CWC intercooler.
He wrote:
"$1395 includes - IC, brackets, polished piping, CF duct, clamps and couplers.
Lead time is approximately 4 weeks. I'm looking for committed orders to begin another production run.

Great engine bay...I'm quite jealous.
But on the topic of CWR IC ducts, is that your own duct or from Duane?
I too haven't received my duct and don't really expect to get one. I have been forced to modify the stock duct and use some sheet metal as shielding--quite ugly, but more importantly it is not as effective.

Wanna trade FD's?
Afterall, you seem like the kind of guy who actually gets enjoyment out of "working" on the car. You must be bored now that it looks and runs so well, I think you shld take my FD.

LOL,
Actually yes I enjoy working on my car just as much as I do driving it It's a stress releiver and I find it very rewarding. But it comes and goes. I drive it for 3 months then feel a need to tinker. I tinker for 3 months then feel a strong need to drive it again Currently I'm in a driving kinda mood

PS. I also just finished doing this:
