coming along nicely, my only concern would be longevity of a ceramic coating vs screwdrivers and clips...
And I know Id get annoyed if i scratched it! (alloy can just be polished out)
How is the ceramic finish in these terms Steve?

Not sure until they have had some samples made up, but with the properly welded parts now the only contact with the ali pipework is the silcon hose.

Andy @ ITG wants to try something called "frozen smoke" which is a Nasa engineered material that is mean to be the best heat reflector, now that's stuff is proper mad and very very expensive  :rolleye:

Steve, have you got a pic of where you have located your BSH Catch Can with the ITG intake?  I've got the catch can and aam considering getting the ITG CAI so would want to plan ahead a little with my catch can location.

Things are a little tighter in the S3 engine bay, the xenon light box thingys project further into the engine bay cutting down valuable space. Have been lookin where to put the catch can myself when/if the intake gets fitted :smiley:

I was there on Monday and Andy was only just starting to look into it and arrange for a set to be sent out to be coated so it's a few weeks away TBH, plus he only wants to do one set and then compare the heatsoak results against a car that's had the normal version of the intake fitted  :wink:

Yes things do seem to be a little tighter in the S3.  The location Steve has used looks like it might work though, what do you think?



How do you find emptying and removing the catch can in that location steve?

Unless the can is tiny it will be very tight
