Pics of my engiine bay/turbo kit after Tirado Custom Coatings worked their magic
I just finished installing my valve cover, and ETS hta35r turbo kit which I took off and had Tirado Coatings powder coat my Buschur fab. IM, valve cover and compressor cover all wrinkle black. My equal length ETS turbo mani, o2 housing, dump tube and turbine housing were all ceramic coated w/there "super" ceramics in satin silver.

Nice parts and a good start but it is still quite messy. Also all of the colors looks a little off. Black, silver, red wire, blue coupler, purple FPR...
it looks strange around the TB too. satin black intake manifold>aluminum tb>blue coupler>shiny t bolts>polished uicp.
If you clean up the wires, vac lines, get some black couplers and spray your intake/uicp you'd be looking hot.

nothing is hooked up right now as far as vacuum/boost lines which is why it's messy. The blue couplers were the only thing available at the time. I'm not into show, I'm really into parts that make it "go". The fpr was bought in a pinch etc... I will be changing the couplers to black as well as changing all the vacuum/boost lines to fuel line, but that's about it. My Bushur SMIM will be going on very soon after I schedule a day to dyno my car w/the stock ported IM I have on there now.

Just to clarify, these pics were taken just to show the powder and ceramic coatings...the wiring, throttle cable, and vacuum/boost lines are all over the place and not necessarily hooked up/ran where they will be in a few days when I finish it completely

Car isn't finished as I'm still working on it...I'm almost done with the install. The strut bar will go back on once I'm done. I still have to change all the wiring/vacuum lines to high grade fuel line, install the oil dipstick tube and catch can, put the front bumper back on, clear cam gear cover has to go back on, strut bar, finally a tune

Once I dyno my car with the new setup (Headgames race head, Kelford 272's were just installed) and stock ported IM, I'm going to take off the stock ported IM and install my Buschur fabricated SMIM (Tirado powder coated wrinkle black) and then redyno the same day to see how much hp/tq increase I get. I will also take new pics of my finished engine bay with the Buschur fab. SMIM
