You are probably right about the red.
The barrel has a PWR logo but it is oriented so the hose nipples would be pointing straight up - which would require some holes in the hood and it would look a little tacky with the hoses running outside the car
.
They can change the orientation, and I am also looking into having a fill port put right on the top of the barrel.

it looks like theres a bomb in the engine bay!!. if/when do you plan offering a higher boost kit? maybe 8psi building to a max of 11 or so? Put me down if available
I installed the upgrade pulley last night and was pushing around 8 to 8.5 PSI. Just have to get here tuned a little better and then plan to hit the dyno next week sometime.
Intercooler is working great. I monitored the IAT with and without it and it showed a significant improvement.
IAT - non-IC (@ 6 PSI) - 80 F ambient
145-155 F Cruising
185-195 F MAX temp following WOT run through 2nd and 3rd gear
IAT - IC (@ 8 PSI) - 78 F ambient
120-125 F Cruising
132-142 F MAX temp following WOT run through 2nd and 3rd gear
As measured by the IAT sensor monitored via OBD2. The charge pipe on the cold side of the IC is actually cool to touch so I assume the actual air charge entering the intake is something around or less than body temp.
Once I can get some cooler air into the filter area I think the IAT will drop even more.
I will try out one size larger pulley in a couple weeks and it should put it to around 9 to 9.5 PSI. Unfortunately that will be the max rotational speed (18k) of the SC. There are some guys running them at 21k - but assume you would need to have the pulley made custom (pretty sure SOT would not offer it).
