yeah the manifold actually looks kinda cool, has like a purple tint to it from the heat. the cold side of the turbo is already starting to rust, and i polished the valve cover but black would look better.

It's such a moot discussion, but I think it has to do with the actual location of the turbo. Kind of like, Exhaust Manifold > Turbine > Downpipe > TBE or how the WRX has Headers (stock is considered a manifold) > Up-pipe > Turbine > Downpipe > TBE. Dunno...same ____ in the end lol.
To OP, no matter what you use on the exhaust manifold and turbine, it WILL begin to fade and chip.
