Are you running SC or turbo ? SC makes no difference but the manifold goes into the turbo and the turbine rotates about 100 000 RPM. I have a Rado ceramic watch and I can scratch metal with no effect on my watch ! If the coating is as hard as my ceramic watch a small part will destroy the turbo. I'm not sure if I would take the risk.

look..i'm not gonna argue about this. What I was talking about wasn't tuning at all. If you do a bad tune and pop a piston through your hood....tough poop. But, if the manifold were to fail and shred my $hit...well that really wasn't my fault was it?? That is all I was asking about!
in the pic of the car u posted, i saw the lines are not stainless
Yes our oil relocation kit on the car utilizes rubber, it is the prototype however and all oil lines and oil relocation lines will be stainless braided

Looks like you are confused! Outside ceramic coating is history because only coating on the outside accelerates the destruction of the manifold. Also check the pictures provided by spool and read the threads.

Yes our manifolds are coated in an out to prevent corrosion and heat transfer. This helps keep the heat in the manifold and actually slightly benefits turbo responsiveness by channeling all of the energy more efficiently towards the turbine.

We are opening up a retail/distributor location in Richmond Virginia May 31.
We have a manufacturing facility in homestead but there is no showroom.
We sell our kits primarily threw dealers, we just manufacture and offer tech support

Can you tell me where???? Richmond is seriously lacking some great tuners...
will you have a dyno? I know of one garage that shutdown and they were trying to sell their dyno...

What are you doing to manage fuel and timing?
Stage 1 peaks 4.5 psi
Stage 2 peaks at 6psi
Full boost is achieved under 4k rpm on our stage 2

No we will not have a dyno or will perform installs. It will mainly be a retail/distribution center and some manufacturing on premisis.
