Regardless, you got a ton of heat and pressure depending on your boost levels so I would have to say not a good idea. Anything in the intake tract or the exhaust tract that has has an opportunity to become free is not a good idea to have. Besides if the outside of the turbo is coated, there is no use of coating the inside, wheres the heat gonna go besides through the exhaust turbine!
There is a use for coating the inside. Like what was said before, When you coat the outside then the heat get into the metal but has to good way of releasing the heat. Whereas if you coat the inside then the heat never gets a chance to see the metal it would just flow right on though and out the exhaust.
As far as it flacking off. What, is a tiny flake of ceramic coat going to mess up your turbine wheel? Probably not. And as what was said before, If it flakes off then it was a crappy ceramic coat/job in the first place and probably didnt do much for you anyways.
