    I plan to ceramic coat my IM, OM, turbo housing, downpipe and the IC to Throttle Body pipes (changing them from plastic to stainless steel first) This should do a good job keeping the engine bay cooler and result in lower intake temps. Have a look at http://www.powerkote.co.za/coatings.htm - Guys who have their engines apart at the moment and who want to run high power, should consider doing the valves and pistons. Timicin and DougRS2 - what about you guys?

    I also heard (from an Audi 4 rings Advance Driving Course instuctor) that it also is a good idea to coat the inside of your brake calipers if you do track days?
