There seems to be a relatively deep groove between the two openings on the turbo side, I assume this isn't a big deal?

I certainly will. I'll get right on it after I finish my "honey do" list.

It has its perks!

If you want to have anything coated, I strongly recommend Carlos @ TCC. Great guy! Great service!

By "coated" are you guys referring to powdercoated?

Levar

You don't even want to know. All of a sudden (after sending the money), I haven't heard back from the guy after getting a case of the "I don't know how to ship a block...I'll have to see if I can build a crate" syndrome.

I am and im sure others are referring to ceramic coating the manifold to preserve the look. i might gain what 4-5whp by doing this lol.

Are there any real benefits to powdercoating these?

rgonyer

It's not powder coating, it's a ceramic coating. In a car that is being raced, it can help keep engine bays a little cooler. In a street driven application there isn't a ton of benefit, other than it does keep the part looking a lot nicer. I'll probably have mine done, mainly for looks. I'd like to see a couple of these coated first though.

Powerdercoating helps keep temps down... Personally I don't believe in doing so, I rather spend $150 elsewhere.
