I picked up a new 30r and I want to get the turbine housing coated before I put it on the car.

Where can I send it, who does everyone recommend.

Just want a high temp black coating, nothing fancy, but want it to last.

Links/prices/turn around time.

Thanks in advance

Got 'em available for ya, PM me for pricing. takes about a week. make sure that the housing has been separated from the cartridge when sending.

you can prolly do it yourself and have it come out pretty nice. a lot of people coat their own housings them selves. im gonna do it on my turbo once i get time.

Never did like using my oven except to utilize it for food, but that's on the OP.

you dont have to bake it either. you can use some high temp engine coating from your local parts store.

Not the same. I did it 10 years ago. It has to be baked on specifically at a heat range in order for it to last longer than a couple of months. I think one customer still has his coatings that we did over 5 years ago, and though slightly faded, no chipping or peeling, and is warm to the touch in 10 minutes after shut down..

Not that I'm dismissing the DIY approach, but if you're going to do it, and the resources can avail themselves, do it correctly.

Many of the coatings done for 5 years. My guys even have a contract with OEM companies and NASCAR

PM sent.

If it wasn't an expensive turbo I wouldn't care to try and do it myself. My old 57trim, or even the 14b I ran around for some time years back, but not a $1000+ turbo..lol.

eh, price shouldnt matter. long as you know what your doing. unless its more cost effective to have it done when you buy the turbo.
