I don't think there is a single parts of the stock turbos that is ceramic... cast iron, steel, and aluminum.

BTW, why would you think something that wwas ceramic wouldn't like heat? Ceramic materials are very heat resistant... they don't conduct it well and they don't retain it well.

ceramic coating retains heat so the turbos will heat soak quicker and tend to crack internally much faster than not having them coated is what i gather from other people's experience with it. but they sure do look nice.
