You should thermal disperse coat the FMIC like you mentioned... Would be a damn good sleeper.

and happy birthday!

Aren't the thermal disperse coatings ceramic based (like what MAP does on their intake manifolds)? That wouldn't be good for an intercooler. Everything I've read so far points to anodizing if you wanted a black sleeper look. ETS charges $100 to anodize an FMIC, not a bad price.

Nice build btw, and welcome to the forum.

Hard to be a sleeper with a 1G. The only 1Gs still out there are modded to hell, nobody is going to expect a clean 1G on the road to not have power.

There is definitely at least one 1g DSM on the streets today that is clean and not modded to hell

Maybe not us car guys. But to the average plebeian, if it lacks the anticipated exterior embellishments that traditionally signify 'fast', it will probably be mistaken for a Saturn. In 2012, I am ok with this.

Who would race a Saturn on purpose?

Oh, they will expect it to have power, no doubt. However, how much power is another story.

It isn't like you see a 1g with this set-up running around on a daily basis or anything.

And, there are still plenty of clean 1gs scooting about that aren't laying down huge power...
