I wish Juan got as much done with his car as he does with his keyboard...

I paid a couple hundred bucks to get the whole hot side ceramic coated. That's outrageous.
I thought it seemed high considering how much less it would have been had I done it on the front end. It does include shipping, cleanup and prep so I don't have to do any of that. I haven't had any luck finding someone local unfortunately.

So I have some black soot I'd like to get rid of in the hot side of the turbo. Turbo is still in great shape with excellent spin/shaft play so I don't want to take it apart. I'm thinking paint brush + gasoline to clean up the backside. Any worries doing that?

also looking at this motor: Stage 4 Motor


Once I get the motor done I'll can work on the turbo side. I'm thinking of something like a sidewinder with a borg warner s400 or something along that size (GTW3884R or 6766).
