Default JetHot 2000 Coating on Turbo Manifolds, Did you coat the inside?

I am getting ready to get my mild steel tubular turbo manifolds, crossover pipe and wastegate dump tube coated. I talked to JetHot today and they reccomended the 2000 coating for my hot parts. But they said they didnt advise me to coat the inside. They said they would do it but I had to sign a disclosure saying if there was turbo damage from the coating flaking they were not liable. I am wondering if anyone else is getting the inside coated. My hot parts have been sitting for a few years and there is some surface rust on the inside. I was hoping to get it stripped and coated so once they got coated on the inside and out it wouldnt happen again. Is the turbo getting damaged by flakes a likely problem and more likely then future rust flaking off. This turbo setup with be going on my drag car and wont see much street time. Thanks

Also anyone use the 2000 coating, what do you think of it and do you have any pictures, thanks.

Ya I figured it was no good, but I have seen a few other kits for sale that were coated on the inside and out.

Most coaters say no. I've done it both ways without a problem.

I have seen it done on numerous turbo cars without a problem. Make sure your getting a quality coating to begin with. If it does come off it normally wont be in big flakes

The Jethot 2000 coating seems to be the toughest, but it is gritty and not sure how it would work out on the inside.
