Its the best route, a cheap 2000 degree paint and a blanket.

I think he was asking which one would retain more heat in the turbo, not if they would retain heat in general. Blanket will hold more heat in.

I did the same, coating held up just fine under the blanket

Ohh my bad! Lol I misread his point... I honestly think the blanket retains more heat than the coating its self. Ive really never been a big fan of coating stuff for I believe that heat can stay out but heats gets trapped in the object due to the coating. Thats my point of view.
