To tell you the truth, I've never NOT had one on, but I believe I've come across a few posts in the past where users described temps/spool before and after throwing the blanket on.

I've got a makeshift blanket 'kit' on mine currently (pic below)
I'm considering getting rid of it (it doesn't fit super tight on the turbo - came in a kit that I cut up and put together myself) and getting a better one that was made for this turbo from forcedinductions in a couple months. I'm kinda new to the underhood temps, but it seems quite a bit hotter than my longtube n/a motor did - I just figured that was the nature of the beast. I'm guessing an fi.com blanket would work much better.
Does anyone know if removal of the turbo is necessary to fit one of the fi.com units on?

Yep! Finally got it all together and the engine bay cleaned up some. Still awaiting the tune, hopefully have some 7-8psi numbers middle of sept. and some track times within a week or 2 after!
