Default HPC or jet-hot for turbo manifold and turbo

I am sending my turbo and manifold for coating tomorrow, but I cannot decide who to go to. I know i need the 2000F coating, but is one company better than the other? I am afraid they might messed up on the coating and coat something when they shouldn't. I know MarkC had experience with one of them. are they as good as they claim? any pictures will be greatly appreciated. thanx

I thought only the manifold and the downpipe needed coating, but the turbo needs coating too?

I sent my Exhaust housing, manifold and downpipe to HPC here in AZ. I only did the 1300 degree coating! They did a great job and it was fairly inexpensive! I am going to send them my forged pistons to get coated as well. Swaintech is a very reputable coater as well!

Yuo mine are HPC. I sent them out thru Jotech. It's been about... Umm... 6 months and the coating is every bit as good as when I put it on. HPC

I just called hpc, and they wanted 100 for turbine housing, and 250 for just the outside of the exhaust manifold. pretty steep, not to mention that they will have open up my turbo to coat the housing... and then pay them to put it back again.

is this the onging rate for HPC?

I had my manifold coated by SwainTech and was charged ~$120. I thought it was a pretty good deal, $250 seems high to me.

I've had many things coated by them. My manifold costed me $85 for their White Lightning coat. However, price depends on size, so you don't get a known price until they get it. My manifold is small compared to most Honda manifolds.
