Default STS Kit, black compressor housing

I remember seeing a picture of the turbos that were black instead of raw so they didn't rust. I can't find it.

Does anyone know who it was and approx. how much that costs?

Thanks
Jim

I believe it was pictures of Jesse's car.

But it was the exhaust housing that are black. They are Jet-Hot coated. I would also be interested to know how much this cost, as I'm lokoing to prevent rust. I was thinking about just coating them with some 1200° High Temperature Exhaust Manifold Paint to keep the rust off.

Proto's right, that's my baby. I can't tell you how much it cost as it was simply included with my kit. Best bet, call email dave@ststurbo.com for a quick answer

Thanks Jesse,
I just sent an email to the person I purchased from, Nyc, to speak to Dave about it.

Do you have the picture of your turbos before they were installed?
