When it comes to turbos, heat contained on the hot side piping and exhaust housing means that the turbo will produce more power, more efficiently. Heat = energy.

Yeah, my buddy just informed me I was *** backwards. I was told wrong in the past I guess. I did not realize people are picking up 1/10th just b/c of a heat blanket.

not to mention the inferior engine, unless it's been swapped... i always thought they looked like roller skates... but if you got a good enough deal screw it, it will get you around just fine
