powdercoat turbo

possible to powdercoat turbo without it chipping off in the future?

Check with your coater to see what kind of temps it can withstand. I've powdercoated parts like differentials, but a turbo creates much more heat.

I'd coat it with something like a ceramic-based coating than CAN handle the heat and even improve turbine efficiency. I've ceramic coated a turbo before and it turned out great; nice bling bling compressor housing and a flat black exhaust housing.

The whole thing?

I doubt powdercoating will hold up to 'hot side' heat levels. Generally people do some sort of ceramic/thermal coating on it.
