The Turbo (Pics)

Just got it back from the coaters
QC Coatings did the coating and Mac at Speed Trapp Consultants did the rebuild work.
Best Valentine's day gift I have ever given myself.

Nice, post some pics of the install and all. You might want to move this to power adder forum though. Goes better there.

I have install pics on my website if you want to see the entire engine swap. I just got the turbo back from the coaters today though.

Looks good. !

May I ask what you paid to get it coated? Do you know what brand of coating they used? Just curious what others charge and use.

I coat a TON of Turbos and headers myself also. Silver and Black.

Haha. Hey, when I start putting neons under my car, than you can say too much sparkle.

No idea what they charge for the actually coating since I had the turbo rebuilt while it was there and they just gave me a total bill.
