A friend of mine pulled his out yesterday, and if was practically seized up with rust and corrosion, I figured the ceramic coating would take care of all of that, plus it would retain the heat and flow better.............I was just concerned about the coating inside the turbo housing,,wither it was a good idea or not,,,I would still put a blanket over the coated housing.

Whether the ID is coated depends on the material being used and the builder. Some don't like the ID coated for fitment issues and others want it all coated. Again, survival depends on the correct material.
Someone mentioned a blanket. The more insulation the better, but it's a good idea to Ceramic Coat it first so the housing doesn't become a rusty mess.

I would like to think that the ceramic,or jet coating would protect the metals and retain the heat in the housing and promote quicker air movement, the blanket would enhance that effect.
I hope I'm right ! Lol...

The Ceramic will reduce the amount of heat radiated through the turbo and stop corrosion from forming on its surface. The blanket will provide additional insulation to retain any additional radiated heat.

So long as your coater is using an actual 2000F+ High Temp Ceramic, you shouldn't have any issues with flaking. If someone tries to coat it with a traditional "Bright Ceramic" you may as well throw $100 out the window as it's useless for most hot-side turbo applications.
