I dont think anyones lasts too long, that really sucks.
though my kevlar gloved aluminum wrapped is still holding up well, but doesnt insulate much,
im going to try some insulation here from work soon and see how that works.
least all my junk was free.

Damn, looks like someone got a bad batch. The two blankets I got from them (although they were grey) showed no sign of a problem while I had them. I'm sure FI will get you fix up!!

On a bad tune or hard driving a housing can see in excess of 2000 degF. We get them hot enough on our diesel that you can see the turbine wheel spinning inside. Of course that is with 2200+ degF EGT's.

After a whole year of driving with the MPT-70, too. That thing's GOTTA be defective.
Mine is a silver color, though.

I am wondering if I should get myself a pair of turbo blankets for my setup.
I am happy to hear that this is an isolated incident and most others have not had any issues with them.
Good luck getting it taken care of.

No exhaust leaks. My WOT A/F is about 10.8:1 right now, but Ive only been wide open 1 time in 1 gear (I shifted at 5500) untill I get all the bugs worked out. I have too many other issues to worry about fixing
