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.
