Default More bling bling for the engine bay....

Just got all my parts back this week.

Thanks to Brain @ RBChroming.com for chroming my 2 HKS Turbo housings, rad holders, and intake pipes.

Thanks to Greg @ hotshotsusa.net for Jet coating of my 2 HKS manifolds, charge pipes, and 2 back housings in their 1400 degree Silver Polish Ceramic Coating.

Also picked up a Tial Q series bov.

I'm excited to get all this installed in the next coming weeks..

2 pics

Damn, Blue! Your engine bay will look even sicker with the new additions! I can't wait to see it in person once you get it buttoned up! Congrats on getting it done.

Dave do you mean if I did the disassemble and reassemble of the turbos themselves? if so than yes I took them apart and put them back together. As far as the install I'm go to take the car as always to grip-industries and let them do the install for me.

Holy crap! Does that bling blau add any weight?

More importantly, will either coatings significantly reduce under hood temps?

Lookin' hot! (hopefully not literally when it's all reinstalled )

Thanks man, Yes the manifolds, down pipes, and turbo back housings have been Jet coated to reduce heat up 1400 degrees. The heat sheilds that cover the back turbo housings are to help even further and try to keep the heat controlled. The chroming of the front turbo housings, well that um helps with the overall balance of heat distribution ok I am just making this part up, I just chromed thos particular parts for eye candy and easy clean up vs polishing.

Dayaam Adrian, your engine compartment is gonna look hotter then ever !


Looking at all that bling almost tempts me to wanna move from my full polish aluminum over to the Bling Side.

Can't wait to see the new set up installed and some dyno #s eventually.
