Ninjacheezit Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 So I picked up a used gs uppipe with ewg on it and has their coating. One the inside of the uppipe it is chipping off pretty bad it looked like a leaf was inside their but it was actually the coating. Now clearly I should remove the shipping parts. But should I just remove all of the coating or is it fine or would this stuff damage the turbo blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn06SpecB Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 personally, I wouldn't want any debris sucked into my turbo. The tolerances are tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasabi Mami Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Why is it coated inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjacheezit Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Assumed it came like that from Grimmspeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mars_volta Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I don't think they are coated on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbeard Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Maybe be just over sprayed coating, some scotch bright should help get rid of it, pretty sure mine wasn't thermal coated on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjacheezit Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Don’t think it’s over spray since it’s everywhere in there. I tried just a bottle brush first it got about half of it it. I’ll try some scotch bright next. Maybe it’s after market or a think layer of carbon Edit: just weird if it is carbon build up how it was all wrinkled up in some spots like paint that had aircraft remover on it.

mwiener2 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 GrimmSpeed pipes are NOT coated on the inside. The coating they use is from Techline and is called Turbo X. It is not meant to be used inside pipes. TURBO X™ Turbo X is a silicone ceramic coating designed to be applied primarily to exhaust components. When applied to exhaust systems, Turbo X will remain color stable at exhaust gas temperatures up to 2000°F. Due to its unique ceramic nature, the coating also functions as a very effective thermal barrier, with reduced thermal radiation characteristics. The coating cures to a very hard, durable surface with excellent adhesion. Turbo X is designed to be cured in an industrial oven. Corrosion and chemical resistance is only achieved after the coating reaches a full cure. Extreme temperature exhaust component coating designed especially for turbos. Reduces temperature under the hood and on the exhaust manifold surface. Improves exhaust gas velocity, resulting in horsepower increase. Designed for single coat coverage. Dry film thickness of .001″ to .0015″. Can be applied over a base primer coating such as PrevCor, MCS or HHBK. Solvent based. Recommend full cure at 600°F for one hour. Oven baking recommended. Easy cleanup with Acetone or similar. Available in Satin Black (Part #TXBK) and Blue (Part #TXBL). Available in Quart and Gallon to professional applicators only.

Ninjacheezit Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Scotch brite is cleaning it up with a little bit of muscle. Maybe it was just a baked on layer of carbon that had some brake fluid or heavy duty degreaser sitting on the spots that made it wrinkle like that.

Idk where that info comes from but I've looked all over for stuff on their coating. Thanks. Kinda wish they'd do a blue one now. Not that I have blue anywhere else.

mwiener2 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I use the TurboX in my shop when I make exhaust pipes. Liked what GrimmSpeed was using and figured out what it was years ago.
