yeah it may stay on on the cold side but the hot side will be off real fast, the cold side will probably start chipping fast. Powdercoating isn't the proper option for a turbo, Fo a turbo you need to do a ceramic type coating like Jet Hot Coat
 
Guess what I did tonight?

YAY![clap] Thanks Bill!

Holy Crap, it's finally done, Ash I'm humping your header once it gets coated. That is of course before it goes on the car [hihi]
Oh geez[rolleyes][chairfall]

BTW guys, I'm thinking about getting my turbo powdercoated prior to install, what do you guys think? BTW, I already plan to get the Valve Cover the same color.



The manifold is going to get jet coated, already decided on that, in which reminds me, Bill where did you find that piece for the EGT Gauge for Ashron's? I'm gonna be in the same predicament so I need to pick one up. I just want to get my stuff to MPC soon.
Aaron ordered it from some place and them shipped to Bill's. Don't have time to look and see where from though so Aaron will have to chime in and say.

Also, Centerville FTL. I've already made up my mind I'm not going to Focusfest this year. They waited about 2 months too late to decide so sorry[dunno]

Awwww shiz..Ken, you have been one upped!! Wings, rice, even ghey chrome turbo's can't top that !!!


BTW, DO NOT coat the turbo...RICE


Okay, if you just HAVE to do it, get it ceramic coated in a white or silver, NOT CHROME!!!! Barf!

That crystal black even looks pretty good. I agree with Ian, I don't think powder coat would take the heat, the jet hot coating would be the only thing that MIGHT hold up...That limits your color choices...
 
yeah powdercoat will not hold up just ask me about my powder coated header...
 
oh yeah by the way centerville is fail. Out too late and way too far away plus way more people will be at focus rising
 
YAY![clap]

Yeah, there's no way powder coating will hold up on the turbo. I wouldn't put anything on the turbo.
 
[chair]eh crap fail again, i got toooo far into a parking spot and cracked the front of the bottom of his front bumper so some how we are going to end up either buying a new bumper or repairing this one and finding an in expensive but nice looking way to repaint the car, is tha possible?

also if there is nothing loose or misplaced on the turbo does it make a difference that it hasn't got a BOV?
 
Andy's ... on the Echo, he has only driven the car like 10 times since the body kit got putted on and then he got shipped to Iraq, he has only really driven it that many times in a year cause he was in Germany and when he got home he left again
