i just noticed that my the coating on my mani is starting crack off now....

 

[LinuxRacr]

It will happen. What boost are you running?

 

[hudnik]

.................I can go deeper into debt and replace everything with stock and take my chances. (I'm running 7.5 psi.)I can go lesser into debt and part out the turbo...........

Methinks it's going to be option No. 1.

Guess I must be lucky or something. I have had no problems with the coating yet. And thats with all season driving (including the heavy salt/sand usage here in the winter months)

 

[brealmp3]

so has anyone been offered a solution to getting it fixed? or what it would cost to have it recoated?

 

[mspeedP5]

I'm just living with it for now. It's the least of my problems.

Your coating is flaking off after 2 years? The first Gen Sleeper kit's had a life time warranty on the coating when we used Jethot. Later the owner decided to use someone else and offer a 1 year warranty. If it's Jethot coated you have a life time warranty. If you send me some pictures I can find out what coating it is.

mspeedP5,

Your kit that you bought used, do you know who the original owner was? If so I can look upi when they bought it and who coated it.

Sent you a PM.

Your manifold was done by Jethot. We can have it recoated.
