No one really answered (except guy with diesel) did it help with underhood temps and spoolup?
Is it possible to just wrap the turbo with heat wrap tape? Blankets are not very cheap

Air gap question.

Tried to trial fit the blanket and once it's on, the blanket will also be touching the radiator. Would that be a problem?

I had the same China 1 you have and it after 3 or 4 passes had the wire mesh imbedded in the padding,almost a years running on the 1 from www.forcedinductions.com and it still looks brand new,I also have seen 2000 degrees at least 20 times in short burst and it's still in awesome shape.

Gotcha I'll keep an eye on it, but nobody keeps these in stock so I'll give it a whirl. How about my question?

John I think we had some show up today....


Also what stupid boost is saying is true. We use to sell the other blankets as well. Easy to spot cause they use the wire mesh on the inside of the blanket. Needless to say we gave out ALOT of refunds. Apparently they are imported from China and are not flame retardant.

As for being close to the rad.....no biggie other then vibration will rub a hole through the outer cover.
