dont put JetCoat in the pipe of a turbocharged manifold. IT will overheat, disintegrate from the exhaust pulses and fly into the turbine, where it will chew up your turbine blades. Put it on the outside of the pipe because it will keep the heat in, but it will not be "blasted" by exhaust pulses, so it wont come off and it will serve as a thermal barrier. The turbine is a superalloy which will NOT melt. I stated this to clarify to bonehead that I was not originally saying that you would melt the turbine. You WONT melt the turbine. : you'll cook the jet coat off? hello, jethot is in your words : "Jetcoat is there to keep the heat within the pipe. It is a ceramic based material. By keeping the heat in, you heat up the engine compartment less as well as transfer most of the thermal energy to the turbine."
: then u say : "The turbine is a superalloy (or ceramic) which is very resistant to heat." : how can u cook something that is very resistant to heat... remember, they put ceramic in a kiln and fire it... can withstand serious serious heat.
