Blouch Dominator 3.0R: Jet-hot coat or not?

cnguyen · 05-15-2008, 12:25 AM

I'll be acquiring this turbo in a week or so and wonder if I should have it jet hot coated. I can have it delivered starting tomorrow or wait a couple of days for the coating to be done.

Is it really worth the extra $100 and will i really see much benefits to it?

I would coat it with Swaintech white lightening. I have a 30R Jethot coated and it seems to be somewhat in-effective and thin. At least you know the Swaintech it applied thick.
The benefits you will see are lower underhood temps which are a boon especially in TMIC applications. Also it is reported that there will be a slight speed up in spool.

On that big of a turbo, with all that heat, coating will improve spool and lower underhood temps, all good things! Wait and have it coated.

I was also gonna get it coated but I have also seen JetHot coating and not impressed.. I like HPC or Swain thats who i used on my headers. When I ordered my DOM 3 from blouch last week they aslo told me 3 weeks for the JetHot. So I got a Turbo Blanket for it which was $125 its a really nice blanket. But I suggest using some kind of heat insulation on it. Cating or blanket.
