Turbo housing color
 

Don't they always look dark brown? Why is this silver? Is it the flash? I know it's a STOOPID question. LOlsz.

Ceramic coated? All the untreated turbines I have seen are brown, but VHT flameproof seems to hold up well (don't know if they make silver) and ceramic coating could do that too.

My ceramic coated housing looked like that.

I agree, looks like it's ceramic coated.

They actually start out a dark gray (not sure if it's paint or just the natural color of the cast iron before it's oxidized), they turn brown as they age and rust.

I agree that a different color is probably a result of ceramic coating. I've seen silver and black.
