Yeah I plan on having Primo coat the manifold black eventually. Have been waiting though until I figure out the wastegate situation. It's currently flanged for a ballin HKS wastegate which I more than likely won't be buying. So I was either going to chop it off and have a different flange welded on, or just make an adapter flange. If I end up chopping it, I want to wait until I do that before coating it.

The welds, I was planning on leaving it as-is. Might be a good idea to have a local shop look it over quick though just to see what they think. Compressor cover, I think I'll be leaving it as-is for now. But it'd be nice to get it polished in the future. Turbo blanket is definately something I've been considering. It's already coated from Primo, but having a blanket as well wouldn't hurt I'd think. And knowing me, I'll probably go find the cheapest one that can be over-nighted from Chiiiyynahh.

Cams, I'm staying stock for now. Reason being is I really like a nice idle now a days. So I want to change as little is possible. Once I get it running good turboed on stock cams, then I'll consider dropping in some better cams. I haven't even researched them yet so no clue what I'll get at this point.

And definately no Naaawwwsss I'm scared of that sh!t.
