ceramic coating I would think would not hold as much heat in as wrapping. much thinner layer of covering to hold heat in. Heat transfer is related to thickness, specific heat capacity, mass density, etc. Don't get me wrong though, ceramic coating looks great.

Simply stated... Heat=Pressure=Boost/Spool
Also, keeps the heat out of the engine compartment and reduces melting of things (Spark plug wires, plastic parts, etc) and electrical failures due to heat.
In a nutshell.

That turbo exhaust housing was my friends back up turbo. His regulars were coated and when he used the back up after 2 passes it was melting his hood. His coated turbos didn't get anywhere near warm enough to damage the hood.
