Looking good man... 
The manifold coating looks pretty good from what I can see in the pic. Shame about your car being Keyed. There is someone always out there upset that they drive a POS, so they do stuff to others.
How's your brothers ride doing?

Bob's car is coming along really well. He is currently running the new Turbonetics water cooled BB turbo. Which seems to be holding up MUCH better then the stock turbos they provide. His custom kit will be completed this weekend. His manifold design is alittle different due to the fact he has the Kaminari hood and has less room for a big "ram horn". He is also going to run a Garrett GT35R From Tial, with Tial's V-band SS turbo housings. Other then that it will be the same kit as mine. That kit will be putting some insane numbers down. Not sure yet if we are messing with the top end just yet but his engine is getting pulled in a couple of weeks hopefully for a rebuild.

I wouldnt say either kit is better then the other. They should perform very similar with the same turbo attached. Only thing really really different is the turbo and I thin my intercooler may be larger then the TT's.

O ok.
Well I like any tubular manifold. As for the coating its a ceramic coating that they "claim" will hold 2000 degrees. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it wont flake off. The place who did it said they would recoat it for free it if did but says it wont. Time will tell.

Well I'll let you know how it holds up. In person its really really shinny. The weld on the inside of the collector pipe feels like your touching freshly waxed car. The inside of the tube are just as smooth as the outside.

Here are some pics of Bob's setup. This is a one off folks so please do not even ask where to buy it. If you have the cash contact me but be forewarned, this is no Greddy or Turbo netics kit. This is a whole other ball of wax.
