Anodized Turbos?

That turbo looks really good like that. See, the idea never crossed my mind until me and my friend were looking at the ones that come from manufacturer's colored like that. I think it would look really good underneath the hood to keep whatever color theme chosen going. How do the intake manifolds hold with engine specific paint on them?

if the coating of the anodizing is too thick then the clearence between the turbine blades and the housing may be too tight.
anodize is a very thin coating, much thinner then powdercoat

Not true. You can anodize anything thickness you want. You can go from 2 thou all the way to 50 thou. If the part is a clearenced, close tolerance part, say a brake caliper with pistons, the pistons may no longer fit into the caliper if the anodizing is too thick. I sent out a set a while ago for the race car at my school and when it came back the part was 30 thou oversized, and the bore was 30 thou smaller. I had to go back on teh CNC and recut the bore.
