Default Ceramic coating turbo kit

Im trying to get most of the money to purchase the UPP twin turbo kit around the end of the year and was trying to figure out if i need to do the ceramic coating or not.

Thanks!

You don't "need" to. It will help keep underhood temps down.

Anything that can be done to prevent/fight heat, do it.

If you are going to do anything then definitely do the hot side of the turbo piping. The turbine housings can be coated or you can use turbo blankets. The compressor housing and intercooler piping does not need ceramic coating.

Hotside to contain the heat. Turbine housings, manifolds, down pipes/xpipe. You can also use a blanket on turbines...mine are coated, and blanketed. Helps also with spool time. I would also recommend heat reflective material for your bellhousing/floorboard area.
