37326, preserving/polishing your turbo/manifold?
Posted by soulcontroller, Jan-13-03 04:37 AM
is there any way to keep your turbo and manifold looking shiny and new? of all the pics ive seen of turbo kits, after a few months they all look nasty. im not sure if anything can keep them looking clean after all that heat.

are there any treatments for the pieces you can apply before you install to preserve them? or anything to that effect?

The extreme turbo exhaust manifold gets really hot. The only way to keep them looking nice for a few years is to get them professionally ceramic coated. High heat paint won't hold and chromed or polished manifolds won't stay looking nice either.

Use spray on silicon lubricant on your downpipe, turbine housing, and manifold. My star kit looks new after almost a year. justin
