Re: WHAT to do with hot manifold (Sky8888)
get a good heatshield, are you mroe worried about heatsoak? if so i would get the intercooler piping coated in heat dissipating paint or get the foam stuff summit sells that covers your entire hot sid eon the turbo, hope this helps

Re: WHAT to do with hot manifold (Soccerking3000)
i am using aluminium intercooler pipping. And do any one here have any idea is an aluminium intake manifold and ic pipping good? Thinking to custom made one

Coating for Exhaust :
Exhaust manifolds can either be a cast iron, factory-type manifold or a tube steel header typically
used in performance applications, though they are becoming very common in OEM applications.
There are a variety of reasons for coating an exhaust manifold header. #1 Corrosion protection.
The manifold will live longer as well as look nicer. Whether it is for performance or show, coating an
exhaust manifold is valuable to you. #2 The coating is a thermal barrier, thus keeping heat within
the manifold or header. There are a number of benefits for this. First, by keeping heat within the
manifold, you're going to accelerate the exhaust gas velocity which reduces back pressure and
reduces fuel contamination due to reversion. This is a performance benefit. Second, you'll reduce
the surface temperature of the manifold. This means if a person comes in contact with it, they are
less likely to be burned and leave skin behind. If there is a component close to it, it will not see as
much heat as it would with an uncoated manifold. In addition, not as much heat will be radiated
under the hood or into the engine compartment. This reduces the under-hood temperature which,
again, reduces the temperature of surrounding parts, such as, alternators and starters. It also
reduces the amount of heat that can be drawn in through the filter, which is a secondary
performance benefit. There are a variety of coatings that can be used on exhaust manifolds or
headers.
By coating an exhaust manifold for a turbo quicker spool-up times can be achieved by keeping the
hot gas velocity very high.
Exhaust manifolds, headers, down-pipes and dump-tubes can all be coated. The end result of a
coated manifold or header will be better performance, better appearance, reduced corrosion which
means long-term improvement in appearance and will reduce component and under-hood
temperatures

Pour ice cold water on it to cool it down.

Hmmmmm... quite a predicament. Are you sure its stolen? maybe make a post to see if anyone got a manifold stolen and see if they'll split the cost with you.

Coating is done by a pro who does powdercoating, but also needs to be baked in a 800 degree oven. Can't be done w/ the same process at home.
