I have powder coated the intake side with great success. (The intake side doesn't get very hot at all and is aluminum)It stayed shiny under stage 4 EGT for over 100k miles. The discharge housing is another story, 1200 degree paint will jump off screaming with it's arms flailing in the air. I have had the exhaust manifold and exhaust housing coated in a special 1500 ceramic jet hot and it lasted (stayed shiny) all of an hour under boost. I guess it all depends on your level of tuning. I gave up on the exhaust housing on my current set-up, but went with a 2200 degree "turbo black" on the exhaust manifold that seems to be holding up rather nicely. DEI makes a nice NASA style silver turbo exhaust housing cozy. I think it goes for $80 a summitt racing. :o) Here's a pic of the turbo and manifold with the powder coat and the 1500 degree ceramic coating. :o)
