Pilot, my "Yes" was for the original post...

I don't know of a tuner who does ceramic coating for turbos, but the headers on a 951 can be ceramic coated, but header wrap is used because of ease, and cost reasons, usually just as effective, not as pretty...

As for internal turbo coating, Garett is working on one... The plan it to be a turbo capable of producing boost at idle, yet not running out of steam until past redline, and use fancy metals, including titanium for the turbine itself, for astonishing throttle response from the turbo, very close to a naturally aspirated engine...

However, it will have it's price, about 4-5k, the turbo is NOT out yet...
