well picked up the turbo, manifold crossover and dump, and dropped it off today to get it all ceramic coated. Exhaust housing, dump, crossover, and turbo manifold are all getting coated in some super heat resistant black stuff,

while the silver compressor side of the turbo is being high polished and coated in red :D
cost $957 all up, from CIC in kelmscott. Red on the compressor was extra $100.. Not bad for the whole shebang tho.

picking up fuel system and all other bit this friday, and once ive finalised a few things ill get it all in the shed and the wknd after easter ill gett stuck into it with a few mates..
ill post n keep it up to date :)
