ceramic coating

[Charlie M]

Got a used turbo kit heading my way, do you guys think it's worth the extra expense of getting hot side ceramic coated?
Thanks

What turbo kit?

Ceramic coat the hot side and powder coat the cold side. Here's one I did.

Absolutely worth it. Cooler underhood temps, more heat in turbo for faster spool, no ill effects. win win

My vote is yes too. Agreed with everyone above. My issue is that water can get on the hot sides of my twins and they will rust. Wish I would have coated mine.

It wouldn't hurt you if you don't want to spend the money. Heat transfer is inversely proportional to thickness of material. Ceramic coatings are quite thin so the amount of heat transfer they reduce is rather small. If I was building an all out race car or was really concerned with looks I would consider it. For my money Ill live with a little rust and just build heat shields.
