More real world track evidence showing the WOT Performance cooling parts in action!

It's actually a graphene coating which is supposed to enhance thermal conductivity. Will it have a large positive impact? Probably not, but it's not going to hurt performance and that's the main goal. Maybe it helps a little. It's more for those who want the black aesthetic.
I appreciate the support, seriously. I do try to provide as much as I can, and show real on track results. Yes I want to sell parts, that's true, but I want equally as much to have the best solutions and to help people in this hobby.
My goal since about 6 years ago, well before being WOT, was...
It's honestly not a concern. Epoxy is used in high pressure and high heat applications. It's used in basically every composite (carbon fiber and other) formulations. We know carbon fiber parts are used in a massive array of parts and we don't question those parts, but they are made with epoxy...
I'm obviously biased but I honestly like the look of the Microtube structure. You're no doubt fair to feel how you do however.
One option if the looks aren't to ones liking is to either powder coat or paint (Eastwood radiator paint) the intercooler. I prefer the stealth look and had mine powder...
Failure would most likely just lead to a boost leak. Reduced power would be the result, but would still be drivable.
If failure were to happen it would really just depend on the failure, but repair would be likely. If the epoxy fails then more could be applied in the affected area. If a tube...
That's an understandable concern.
The epoxy formula used on the Microtube IC is also used with mining machinery and in high-frequency vibration environments.
If one should fail we offer a 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects.
It will provide lower post IC IAT temps and lower engine coolant temps (because of enhanced air flow to the lower half of the radiator), maintain better charge pressure, and won't heat soak. So you'll be able to run whatever power level you're targeting with greater consistency. You can run it...
