84mm cover, you could always ceramic coat everything later

I found that the cover makes a great sound and helps with surge when boosting 28+ psi. I did not notice an increase in spool or power when I made the switch but loved it non the less. Smoothed out my boost curve.

The coatings should help with underhood temps which are always a concern especially when hitting the road coarse.

I've never heard that you have to get the coating? IMO I would get the coating however, just from my experience of overheating and it does cause lots of damage that is hard to diagnose and fix

Save the money for something that you may need later.
