My clio 172 that I have turbo charged.

I've been having a go at mine this winter...









Would like to paint the manifold but not sure what to use on it, or should I leave it alone?

Is that a ram intake at the back of the engine

There is a gt2860rs at the back on a log manifold.

What have you done to it altogether and what is the spec of the engine??

Assuming exhaust manifold...

Oven/stove/barbecue paint or any other high temperature paint. Comes in handy spray can, grey or black with matt finish. Looks the business. Use wire brush to remove surface rust first.

Ha ah yes it's my profession, 10 years Mercedes, 1 year at a Indy and then self employed for the past 6 years.

I did a low pressure turbo conversion to the same car previously, purely bolt on was running 222hp 118lb/ft and was plenty quick enough, you just end up craving more power, hence the forged build, it does sound nice the turbo chatter is addictive.
