Best working/looking turbo blanket
What are you guys using for turbo blankets? Is there any certain one, or brands to stay away from? I noticed some wicket temps on the top of my fiberglass hood and i want do something before it messes up my paint. I ordered some adhesive reflective insulating mat to stick under the hood, but I'm not sure how well that will work. I may have to go ahead and insulate the turbine housing.
I was also looking at the Swain tech. white lightning coatings. Any feedback on this route?
Thanks,
Frank

I bought one from forcedinductions.com I don't know the brand
I have had it on my 9 second daily driver for several years. It doesn't look pretty or anything, it's grey.

works great, very tight fight if you have a limited amount of space but a lil pricey and not the nicest color. Overall im happy with it

I use the one from forcedinductions.com also. It has been thru hell and back and is still solid and works perfectly. My exhaust housing is a 1/4" away from my plastic fan shroud. The cover is stufd in between them and there is no heat damage to the shroud. I have even blown an exhaust wheel apart and it blew up the housing. The blanket lived and saved all kinds of parts. Probably one of the best items I have purchased.
