Yes I ran the power plate with this set-up and it worked great. I know some like them, some do not like them. We have them on all our TR'S down here with great results, real results. I think Jason does a great job and he makes the plates for these.
Yes funny you should ask Scott, It rained all dam weekend here in smelly NJ. So I woke up had coffee and looked at the engine and said yup today you are coming apart.
I took the Turbo housing, all the intercooler pipes, the maff pipe and the down-pipe. I spent a few hours on the phone and talking to various different coaters from CA to VA.
Here is the deal, Swain and Jet hot go to 2400, however they only have black and a ugly silver. I wanted the polished look on everything so it matched.
I found a great place to deal with

They have polished aluminum that will go up to 2000 and has seemed to have held up on some Turbo cars. He is one of the few that adds a few extra processes.
I will post pictures when reinstalled, he said 2 weeks. So I guess I will be the Ginnie pig for the Buick Community. If you hit search under coating many have beaten this to death, and it seems lots of guys still kinda waiting. Sorry for the long post
