Turbo: Blanket or run NAKED ?
Plenty room under hood of Suburban.
Lots of air circulation.
Wrapped a bit of reflective heat shield around the Heater hoses, close to front of Passenger ex Manifold.
About 6 coats of VHT Ceramic paint on the Turbine.
Do I need to hide the Turbine under a blanket, or can I run through the streets NAKED ?
.
. For reference, my IAT stays very low highest logged so far is 59 degrees (F) , Last bend before throttle body is always COOL to the touch

Always a good idea to limit under hood temps. Better for your wiring and everything under the hood. I buy cheap ones and coat it with BBQ grill paint to keep the fiberglass in. Also sheds water/oil when painted. In theory it will help keep the heat in the turbine, which will increase performance. (not that it would be noticeable IMO)
