You can try Accessories Plus in Belmont to get the ceramic coating. Guy there told me they also coat turbos in addition to exhaust parts ect.. They don't do any pnp work afaik.
Here's what my header looked like after getting it back from them:

They can do ceremic coating as well as porting, dry film lubes, and heat reflective coatings.
Don ain't cheap, but he'll do it the best it can be done

The only coating that I have had experience with, and would purchase again, is Swaintech. The stuff requires a die grinder to take off!! They have about a month turn around, and is a little pricey, but it is worth it. I think I paid $180 to coat my Perrin headers.
I can understand not wanting to port your own turbo. As for anything else, a die grinder, an old gasket, and a sharpie will get you where you need to be.
