Ceramic Coating?

So The kit is sitting in m living room. Yea my wife is beaching about it. BTW here is a recap of what I got.

- Greddy Turbo Kit
- Greddy type 24r front mount intercooler
- Greddy type s blow off valve
- Greddy Evo turbo exhaust system
- Greddy turbo timer
- Fluidyne radiator with slim fan
- Carsound Hi-flow cat
- Cooler Plugs

And for engine management I'm going with the AEM EMS & UEGO.

So question. I might aswell do it right to some extent.

Should I ceramic coat the exhaust manifold? Are there any gains to be had with this?

Any other small performance/safety measures I should think about?

BTW this is all gona be at 6psi on a stock block with 31K miles.

Up in Toronto, Paul Neethling @ Neetronics is the only certified AEM EMS tuner, I would seriously consider only going to him.

Up to you, but I thought the Greddy Kit comes with some kind of heatshield for the exhaust manifold?

It does. But in this case I'm looking into posible performance gains.

I would coat the "hot side" of the Turbo and the Down pipe and the manifold. It will keep the temps down in the engine bay and possibly make "more" power. And look cleaner longer.

Thanks. Looks like I'm going ahead with this.
