Well do what you want, its not a must you have to coat.. But for to protect from heat, yes its a good thing.. I have my mani, turbo exhaust housing, downpipe all hot temp coated.. It not only looks nice, but its helping keep the heat down..

Brad, a local shop here in town sent it out to Wisconsin. I couldnt even tell ya where.. But I got all that stuff coated for 180.00, they didnt give me a break down for each item.. Pretty good deal I thought.

Do i need to get it coated? I was looking at these coatings that you can coat on yourself..

The Turbo X ones...
Good luck with that manifold!!

I sent mine to
Jet-hot. It cost me about 140.00 or so with shipping. The coating itself was about 90.00.

Yeah I'm a fan of Jet-Hot 2000 coatings myself.
I've never heard of this "part throttle" before. Does it just bolt on?

Yup, just took off the compressor side, but before I did I made a mark so I could line it right back up when putting it back together.

Well i live in Hawaii and i go to school. My only time off from school is the first week of october, and that is the only time i have to put the turbo in... and its kinda too late to send it to Jet Hot, also Jet Hot wanted $240 to coat my manifold...
So because im in a hurry, i thought any type of coating would be better then no coating at all, so i found this turbo X thing and im gonna coat it myself with that...

couldn't you also get it powder coated with hi temp paint and it would do the same thing?
What about that headder wrap from dei?
