It's only good to 1100* F...it was clearly designed for n/a applications. Turbo manifolds will routinely see that temperature + more...save your money or have it done professionally...

how hot doest a turbo mani usualy get?

[UK-SRi]

Well a turbo manifold will glow nicely, so maybe 700-800 centigrade. Its the aluminium content of that coating that doesnt really like those temps.

I used Xylar2 on my header, applied it myself and baked it with a blowtorch. But I did coat the insides with Xylar 1010?? the non-ali version that copes with hotter temps.
