Curious why you want to go all stainless? My setup (if I ever finish it!)
will be all aluminum on the intake side and all stainless on the exhaust.

Yes, the AC and PS are necessary when you get to be an old fart like me. I
just couldn't see a clean way to get the tubes to the intercooler so went to
a water/air intercooler. One of these days I'll get this thing done and post
some pics of my particular solution.
