Ceramic Coating vs Header Wrap

[TrentNell]

Book marking this thread. I need to call him up and get blankets on order.

Levi will take good care of you , he has done all the blankets on both sets of twins i have had.

Does anyone wrap there up-pipes??

I did when I deleted my EGR and put turbo on.

I understand the turbo sock theory , but do you guys see a real world difference with and without?

Ask Darius (4warned over at DP). He added one of those blankets to his LLY and realized a noticeable difference in spool time and heat.

Thats what I like to hear plus he is pretty close to us so I might be able to get them by the time I do the install

Dragging this one back from the dead.

I am getting a BD Supermax and was wondering if I should ceramic coat the turbine housing, pedestal and my RDL up pipes or get the blankets.

I kind of think the blankets are the way to go

What say You?

 

[hondarider552]

I agree with blankets Kevin.

IIRC Nick(paint) said his ceramic coating on his housing was starting to flake off.

Coat the pedestal and run a turbo blanket on the up-pipes and exhaust side of the turbo. I would also put header wrap on the downpipe as well.

 

[Burn Down]

I say blankets and wrap as well... My coating is starting to come off my manifolds.

For the guys that have problems with coatings flaking off, what coating was being used?

I had Jet Hot do a set of manifolds and uppipes with their 2000 degree coating and I haven't had any issues with it burning off or flaking after 4 seasons of abuse.
