One of our sponsors, ForcedInductions.com supplies them. I am not sure if they will fit the turbos on the APS kit though. I would imagine they would. They are not cheap either. Something like 100 to 150 bucks each give or take.

They do make cheaper ones that Jegs and Summit carries, but they don't last very long. A couple of the members here have tried the cheaper ones but they didn't last long at all.

Good luck,
Glenn

Give Jose a call at Forced Inductions... I have their T4 blanket and it works great. Excellant quality too.

I have this blanket as well. I was melting my radiator fan shroud before. No problems after installing the blanket.

Smallest we make is the T4 version, BUT you can just wrap the entire turbine housing with the T4 version and secure it. Will make a big difference and our blankets are rated for extreme heat.

If we got a solid list up I could possibly talk to them to see if they would do a GP.
