Ceramic coat the turbo or not?

[LegoHead]

Need a quick decision as it will probably be done tomorrow or next few days.

Around £160+VAT for ceramic coating the turbo.

I have been told there are no draw backs, but is it worth me doing on the 182?

not a priority but no harm i wouldnt of thought.

Gases are put through the hot side so quickly though, that I couldnt really see the benifit if im honest. £160 better spent elsewhere?

Well if it's not gonna be huge gains I could spend the cash elsewhere. It's just easy to do it when the turbos out.

I am thinking now, a remap would be better value for money.

will reduce engine bay temps, which has got to be worth something.

had my 182 mani done, worked very well.

if anything id do the manifold and downpipe first.

 

[sideways danny]

money better spent elsewhere IMO.

 

[172Ben]

manifold would be better as ste said.

 

[BRUN]

as above, will reduce under bonnet temps

I would use a turbo wrap. I used it on a scoob rally car and it did'nt melt the third cylinder for a change! Id coat the manifold though as wrapping it can be a wee bit risky. If a gap appears after a while it increases the temperature so more maintainance is needed.
