Just want to get an idea on what you guys paid to have your hotsides ceramic coated, and whether or not i should go ahead and do the turbine housings also. Which companies do you prefer? Its a custom twin turbo setup, Dual down pipes obviously that will bout routed around each side of the engine. heres an idea of what im working with. Turbonetics 66/65's
excuse the filth. the engine bay is getting painted.

Interesting.

Might have to invest in an airbrush, stuff is pretty reasonably priced.

I've used the techline coatings and done it myself. It works okay. It definitely isn't as nice as swaintech or jet hot.... Also you will have to bake it on in your oven. wow did my house smell horrible for a long time. It is like any ceramic coating where if you want it shiny you will have to polish it and even then if it gets hot will dull.
I'd recommend swaintech as well. I think they are a little more expensive but is by far the best coating and works the best to keep temps down.

Coating the hot side components i.e. headers, down pipes and turbine housings are the most important, but if you're going to do that you may as well do the rest of the system.
As for specific coatings you want to make sure that whoever does your work does NOT use a bright ceramic on any of the hot side parts. You'll want a 2000F+ material for this application. As you can see from the jet hot headers below, these types of ceramics are not rated for extreme turbo temps. On the other hand, we do get a lot of guys that use them on cold side parts because they are great at insulating the intake tubes and guys like the polished chrome look.

I have the Jet Hot high temp coating on my truck, I chose the Black although you can get different colors. The shiny coating is only used below 1350f and should not be on any turbo parts before the turbo for sure. My coating has been on for about 25000 miles and still looks perfect.
