Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / Bimmer Mag, 2002 Turbo Article

The current issue of Bimmer has an article on my turbos restoration. It was quite a project. Interesting reading, I think, for the compressed crew! Now, I need to find a good 318is. Also, check out http://www.sport-car-restoration.com for a ton of photos of the resto

Swaps, Turbos, Buildups / Ceramic coatings

« on: August 12, 2009, 04:57:52 AM »

I had the exhaust manifold on my 2002 Turbo ceramic coated and it didn't last 1,000 mi. Came off in large flakes. I then called around telling the various shops what type car it was going on and they decided it was the wrong job for their coatings. One of the shops referred me to KECO Coatings out of Indianapolis. They do all the Indy cars. It cost about $250 to get done but it came back in a dark gray color and has held up well. They were good to deal with. Just an fyi, and I have no connection to them other than being a customer. I'm hoping to get into a 318is one of these days.
