No, I haven't coated the turbo housing yet. I am actually trying to find a 9.8t titanuim turbo to have rebuilt and coated. I have found a couple but not for a decent price yet. I will definately update this post when I get that done!

I have found a 10.5 cm titanium turbo brand new for $995. I think I just might purchase this turbo. It is from ForcedPerformance. I will of course have the exhaust housing ceramic coated. I will update this thread when I get it done...

EVOeight, this is amazing. I was about to do the same thing next week but i am still thinking about it. I have an after market heavy turbo and if I go with bling blig manifold it might crack although they have life time warranty so I was thinking about spending the weekend cleaning and porting out my manifold and giving home depot couple visits . I am just lost because i can get a nice life time warrany manifold that looks like JIC one for $275 but it might crack although they promised it wont. or should I go ahead and make my weekend soo busy. What do you think EVOeight? thanks for the right up this is great.

this is great I wish if i had another EVO to make one spool so fast and the other insane high power . get the bigger housing with that turbo and have them build it for you. You spool will be amazing. Reminds me of my GTI 1500 RPM spool lol

Do you guys think the 10.5 titanium turbo would spool as fast as the 9.8 steel turbo?

Has anyone converted to the 9.8 titanium turbo yet? I sure would like some feedback as to how much better the spool is!

It says right on the can that you can paint headers, manifolds, etc...

do you have experience using the thermo-tec 2000 paint? i dont want to paint the shield dull gray since its already that... i want to paint it red to match the block or black.

I used the ThermoTec paint on my downpipe. I do not think they make it in red though. If you do find it in red, I would like to know.

I don't think so. It only flows a little better than the stock 9.8...

I see that a few other people have ceramic coated their headers. I am curious as to how well it will hold up on stainless steel...

EVOeight,

any point??

In this picture from your gallery... it looks like it's tapered...
