    Yeah they told me they stopped powdercoating since like a year ago. So I guess I have to do it now.

    Why do you have to powdercoat it? Preference? Aluminum should be fine uncoated.

    Mine is mostly black except for the front aluminum piece which is silver.

    Yeah just preference. I like to have it as OEM looking as possible. Since the intake manifold is originally black, it looks off to me. Plus it'll be harder to spot if my hood gets popped.

    It looks like I got the last one ESS had as of Oct 2021. Not sure if they will do another production run. It is a good kit. Deceptively fast. I have a BMW performance intake, and cannot tell if I ever heard the supercharger whine. I still run the stock exhaust. The car gives no hints about its potential.

    No matter how hard I floor it, I get a smooth surge of power.

    Hard to argue with a strong mid-range.
