Rep Power: 584 THAT WAS STUPID, that thing gets so hot ur **** is going to melt off, it might be engine enamel, but its not going to withstand the heat of that manifold and turbo. not a smart move IMO

Rep Power: 511 this is what a turbo and manifold look like when driven hard for a while. do you think your paint will be able to withstand this?
Sometimes, I can see right through myself ...

Rep Power: 0 first off that's not a t3 turbo! that looks way to big and that turbo is driven way to hard and for a long time... looks like a diesel engine!!! if not a race car that can run 250MPH easy... um 
my lil D17 ain't going any closer to 130MPH and hell no! I ain't driving my car any further than a 100miles away from my krib... I'm gettin a rent-a-car!!! same amount of money for gas if you look at it....
second it's not mounted on a D17! refer above statement ^^^
third, have you seen the turbo when I got it? the paint is gone pretty much... the paint I used is good for 1300F so that should withstand atleast for awhile to prevent rust and whatnot... yes I admit it looks cheap with the red paint... but it looks nastier with all the paint gone and rusted...
