Funnily enough I was talking to Stef last night about that mighty car mods video and whilst I can see logic in what they are saying, I can't see a huge difference. My intercooler is painted silver because I'm a tart but I'm tempted to buy a new one just to see how much truth is in what they are saying.
I also think I'm getting quite a bit of extra heat from the charger anyway as although it's still boosting fine, it's really not in a great condition so I need to do something about that. The Mini M45s are a completely different design body but the rotors are the same size and fitment as mine being the same displacement. Difference is though my charger is gen1 and the mini ones are gen3 so improved rotor design and better coatings so I'm hoping to get a mini charger and sort of build a hybrid if you like. I also think this could be one reason why Stef is seeing only 25 degrees temps. Either that or his air temp sensor isn't calibrated at all and his is just as bad as mine
