IMO as long as you have all the openings sealed up with painters tape or cardboard on the bottom and keep it clean it should be fine.
I want to PC mine too but the baffle mod seems sketchy but works. If your powder coating anyways you prob should remove the baffles because I’m sure I’ve read that the powder/sand can get stuck either way. GL

Picked up a new IX, silver SSL. Two owner car with a clean carfax. Previously a California car with 127xxx miles.
GSC head work
GSC 272 cams
FP green
HMBC
ARC heat shield
Fujita intake
Fujitsu intercooler pipes
ETS fmic
Invidia exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers
Open dump with knockoff Turbosmart gate?
RC 1650 injectors
Egr delete
Agency Power fuel rail
Racing Demon COP kit (can't find info on this)
KW Robi spec Clubsport coilovers
Volk RE30s
Stock block? (Awaiting new borescope arrival)
Innovate gauges

Yesterday I changed the plugs and ran a compression test 140 across on a cold block. I can live with those numbers. I have ordered evo scan as the tune could use some work.

Gave these metric bolts some ‘Merica today. Took the OEM MN119783 turbo to manifold bolt, reduced the head from 14mm to 12mm, trimmed lip off head, reduced flange etc didn’t take very long and nothing half assed. Perfect fit, won’t break off like Arps, can get tools on easy, 1G in the rear makes it OEM all the way around. Perfect FP cast manifold bolt kit and I won’t be drilling out another ARP. Glad made a couple extra lol!

For anyone that has removed their brembos for paint/powdercoat or installed SS brake lines. I plan to install SS brake lines as well as take off my calipers to paint them. My question is if I remove the rubber brake lines can I just keep the hardlines open like that for a day or 2 when I paint my calipers? I plan to flush out the fluid for brand new one after I am done with bolting everything up. My concern is the reservoir draining fully and introducing air into the system through the reservoir.

Saturday I dropped my Evo off at Walushka Auto House. Its been 4 years since she ran due to the transmission.
Its got the whole stage 1 Shep driveline going into the car with the motor i rebuilt 3 years ago.
It sucks when you dont have time to finish the need projects.
The entire rear suspension was removes and I undercoated from the firewall to under the rear tail lights 3 years ago.....
Heres the car.
Before, and now

Evo 8 unanswered question
Recently my evo 8 2003 started to run really rough idle . But no loss of power. Took to local tuner and he said the car has cams and the rough idle was normal with cams. Anybody out there have any idea? Note I have owned the car for over 10 years never did it idle like this. Please help with an answer,, sorry I’m a newbie to evo m
