UPDATE (for those interested): Check out the masterpiece! Thanks Markku for the excellent work...
Everything was test fitted on my car and the removed.
The whole assembly including the stainless steel turbo/turbine housing, the stainless steel wastegate housing and its pipe, the wastegate's 2 inch in diameter exhaust pipe (except for the flex), the 3 inch in diameter downpipe (except for the last 6 inches) and of course the exhaust manifold were sent to a Montreal area aerospace company that specialize in heat treatments for various materials.
They will coat my components with a special ceramic coating using the latest "high tech" methods of application to form a heat insulation barrier to keep the heat inside the pipes and components for a faster flowing gases and to keep the temperature down underneath the hood.
Here are the latest pictures before the coating...
