Turbo blankets, what's everyones take?

[driven87]

Curious on everyones take on turbo blankets? Help in spoolup? Underhood temps down? What one does everyone like? Any power gain? Let's hear it.

I would use one, I believe most don't only because they like sheilds better(hardware) instead of WRAP type.

DEI/thermo tech has a universal kit for 30$ish at summit/jegs. I think autozone, auto parts have them as well but at 50-60$.

I use one, and it does help keep the temperature down under the hood.
I am running a big turbo and the exhaust housing was almost touching the hood which is why i choose to run one.

Wonder if you could run one under the shield? Someone do that and get back to me :biggrin:

That's what I was thinking too.

These are cool. Yes a tad pricey but you'll be the coolest kid on the block.

I just bought one, in Edmonton. Doesn’t fit because of the internal wastegate. Have to mod it if I decide to keep it. The 84 turbo is in a tight spot and the factory heat shield sucks.

I'll buy it if you decide to sell it. Hood luck my friend.

I was unable to fit the shield over top of the turbo blanket.

I have had acouple of them and I somehow got oil on them which made them smoke pretty badly. But before I got it soaked with oil it definitely helped keep the under hood temps down .
