Some of the bottom is open so the plumbing can get up into the turbo, and it's also loose enough to allow the wastagate actuator to operate, etc.
I don't really think this would be an issue for the turbine housing metal.

Might work well for a hotair car. Any pics anywhere of one of these turbo "blankets"? Weve got heatshields on the underside of the hood and they still get singed. In fact Ive got a custom one thats singed in a couple spots .
