It should be an alternative to thermal wrap and should work the same. We'll see for me. I just swapped out the wrap for ceramic coating. I'll let you know.

It makes a huge difference in my opinion.

I recently turned out a customer's car with a T04Z turbo and no coating.

Compared to my setup, with 3600 degree cerama-black on the mani/dp/turbine housing, the amount of engine bay heat at idle and after some easy driving was unreal.

Supposed to help spool as well, hard to quantify that.

The coatings that my guy does are specifically formulated to handle the high EGTs that the rotary engine generates......

P.S. David, might be time to change your sig to 'Gotham 20b conversion'
