Start the testing on that question. I'd like to know too. I'd hate to do this and degrade the functionality of the intercooler. Bump for answer.

Hey Guys,

I'm not sure why my reply didn't post that I posted a couple days ago. The Anodizing does not keep any more heat in since it chemically bonds to the aluminum changing the properties of the metal. Paint on the other hand can really keep heat in. It's really more of an ascetic thing then a performance gain. You will also notice most heat sync and A/C units are anodized black as well.

Thanks Guys!
