I have it on my Chevy truck with single turbo. It has been on 1.5 years and still looks like when installed.

No pictures. It was not done for looks, I was trying to lower the under hood temps. My truck is just a daily driver that also pulls a trailer once in awhile, not much to look at! I had the dull black top coat, but they can put any finish color on top.

did you coat the turbine housing on the turbo or do just run a blanket?

Yes, I coated the turbo housing. I now have no wrap on any pipes, over the last 10 years (165,000miles) I have used a few different wraps. None of them worked for over 1 year when I was in Michigan, the winter would kill it. The last one I had on (DEI) lasted less than 1 year, it was shredding. I had been towing the mountains a bunch in that time period.

How big of a difference does the coating have on temperatures?

Not sure as I cannot measure it. I have wrapped the tubing and Y pipe for most all of the years I have driven this truck. In 2002 when it was new I did not have it wrapped, after about 1 year my coil harness was crispy and it blew a coil driver fuse. I replaced one coil and both harnesses and added wrap. The wrap lasts about one year, but protects my wiring under hood. Now the coating is not covered, and my temps are lower. I always had to wear a glove when checking my oil when towing because the dipstick was to hot to hold. Now I can do it without the gloves. I have a friend at Jet Hot, we have talked about doing some dyno testing while measuring heat. Not sure if we will ever do it, but it's on the wish list.

How do you think the 2500 compares to the swaintech white lighting ? It's a 6 week wait on swaintech vs 5 days with jet hot

Is it worth doing longtubes on a procharged setup?
