Did you need to make adjustments?

 

I have the stock JCW turbo and stock manifold, but I have a carless DP that I ceramic coated. I also have kept the heat shield. This car runs hotter than 2 rats ****ing in a wool sock! I figure, anyway I can mitigate that the better!

 

Actually, the tune will be better now. Nick has reduced the coolant temps even without sport mode engaged. Looking forward to that.

 

Why the quick switch from K03 to the K04?

 

I wasn't happy with the K03's performance above 18-19psi. Plus, JMTC offers an upgrade at a really good price I couldn't pass up. I will see how the K04 shakes out next week. I was happy with it up until a few days ago before the ECU got wiped...

 

a lot of the "ceramic coatings" you see offered by vendors do little if anything to contain the heat. You can buy the same coatings in a spray can. They are just ceramic based paints. They keep the parts looking nicer and provide some rust protection. Besides that they do little.
You have to get something like Swain-tech coatings if you want real heat reduction without using header/exhaust wrap. I plan to get my downpipe coated by them once my warranty expires in Feb.

 

Just had my WMW down pipe ceramic coated. Local shop that does powder and ceramic coating. BTW the WMW heat blanket fits on the KO4 housing turbos and also fits under the stock heat shield.

 

now THAT is just what I wanted to hear
