Yes they do get hotter because they restrict the airflow more than a header
would.  Before I wrote this, I called my bud to ask if his coating is still
on  his turbo (we coated the outside only) and he said it flaked off after
a few  months or hard use.  Knowing his driving style for years, he tends
to be more rough on things than even I.
