Extra Info:

The blurb:

These Blankets are a great innovation to the turbo scene! They are made up of heat resistant polyurethane/silicon coated fibreglass cloth, with an inner of 25mm Heat Absorbing Ceramic material, and a stainless wire mesh to retain the "wool". The Ceramic Wool is space age technology material with tolerances in excess of 1000 degrees C before mechanical breakdown of the material.

The Blanket is designed to retain the heat in the turbo, reducing the loss of energy/heat from the turbo. This intern gives the turbo earlier spooling and greater horsepower potential. Back to Back Dyno Testing verifies a performance increase from fitting the blanket. Not to mention the cosmetic benefits of reduced temperatures within the engine bay! No more burnt paintwork and cooked wiring looms etc.

Retaining springs/wire is not included, as there are variations in required length based on application. These Blankets are relatively generic in fit, to cater for a range of models.

As these Blankets are designed to retain heat within the turbo, it may be beneficial that the blanket be removed for vehicle "Garaging" as retaining the heat without the water/oil circulation may cause long term reduced life for the turbo (this is particularly relevant when used with non-water cooled plain bearing units). Although there is no documented analysis to support this theory... (we don't believe this to be the case based on our testing and analysis)

Will post at buyer's expense via courier. $15 to anywhere in Australia.

    • My fob has never worked, I once attempted to follow the procedure to re-key it, (I have other fobs for the car alarm thing in there). I actually have three of them. Do aftermarket alarms take over the pairing mechanism for central locking? Or do they piggyback off it? I suppose it depends on the system, right? I have four sets of keys/keyfobs. One definitely works, one I think works, one definitely doesn't work, and I have the OEM one that has never worked :p. Is this fixable/workable/whatever? I mean I know it's beyond "just clean it" but how *do* they get synced up?
    • It's actually a really weird comparison... the MX5 is on another level and I kinda question this comparison at all. It'd be closer to compare it to a GTI/Golf/Hatch anything that kicks around. NC MX5 with a turbo has the right to go up with and beat the FD RX7 or 180SX or any other JDM hero car. That's the comparison that would really ruffle feathers.
    • @MBS206 you need more shed in your life... What sort of car is your mates race car?  Hopefully he returns the favour when you're ready to get cracking on yours! None of my mates are into cars so I don't have to worry about that as a distraction thankfully.  I have enough other distractions so I don't need that one too!  Between working 6 days a week (5 1/2 really so 55 hours or so per week), both kids have basketball almost every week night (including Friday night in Melbourne - 2 hours away), my daughter plays netball as well, my sons footy has started now and I coach his under 14's side as well as I'm on the Footy club committee this year, I ride motorbikes every spare Sunday I can find, plus trying to be some sort of a husband.  Life is a busy little exercise at the moment!  I wish there were 8 or 9 days in a week sometimes!
    • Ha ha, that is very true!  I'm too scared to leave it in the position though, it tingles my balls seeing it like that!
    • Which one did you buy? I have always wanted a decent inspection camera but have been unable to tell whether something is cheap junk or cheap junk chunk sold at just a bigger markup
