Kind hard to fly under the radar with a turbo that big.

But I like the black...I assume this guy's getting the sleeper-series Turbosmart WB, BOV, and EBoost?

I like it. All my pipes are coated black. Stealth until you fire it up.

Do you have pics of the whole setup, either the unassembled parts, or in the engine bay? A blacked-out engine bay would rule.

We offer stealth/blackout option for all our turbos, and customer turbos if they send them in. We also offer several other color coatings.

They are rated 1350hp, of course depends on about 50 million different things as usual with any turbo.

Is there any reason on the compressor side someone couldn't mask everything off and paint it themselves w/ high-temp paint? I like that blacked out look

Well we don't use paint, plus get fluids from your vehicle on the comp cover as well as paint with time will start to chip right off the cover with heat cycling. We tried that years ago on diesels......doesn't work.

I gotcha, I figured your process was more akin to powder coating than painting.
