Ceramic coating pistons, what are people's views on this? And is it going to effect compression ratio?

Ceramic coating

I had mine done mate just to try and keep the heat away from the brake lines that run near the turbo location, also I suffered some heat soak into the PAS lines.
I had my turbo manifold, turbine housing and down pipe coated and was quite happy with the results. Obviously it was still hot to the touch but much better than un coated. I think heat wrap would be better but after having an oil feed line fail and squirt oil over the turbo and manifold I didn't want to risk it.

Lol wakey wakey :rasp: manifold and down pipe will be getting done, il do anything to dissipate the heat generated, just thought the pistons might help.
Edit probably going to get shot down for that last comment.

Pistons would only get too hot if fueling wasn't right.
Ignition!!!!! ignition timing is what causes too much heat in the vast majority of cases. Far too many people r****d the ignition way too much, huge heat is created, melty lump is formed

I'll answer your question mate!
Zicotech is a good place to start to get a quote. It's in Oxford I think.
