I’m planning on fitting one because my turbo will be side mounted. It’s not running yet so can’t tell you if it’s any good or not.
In the 13's at last!.. Just |

I think my blanket is for a T2. The turbo is a TD04, pretty much the same size externally as the 17. In the 13's at last!.. Just |

My only concern with them is it making the turbo so hot under the blanket.

Ceramic coating is another option.

Smallest I could find on Ebay, but still needed cutting down. Not run in anger yet.

I was only concerned about the heat build up due to the fact you are supposed to let the engine idle before turning off to try and get the heat out of the turbo. Can just imagine the heat building up with a blanket on? My build thread..

Heat is energy which can be used to drive the turbine. So in theory a hotter exhaust charge could reduce lag.

I would rather ceramic coat the exhaust housing, manifold and downpipe. :/ On 18th Nov, 2014 D4VE said:

Is there any reason why you couldn’t do both?

You could, but it would be expensive for marginal gains. Ceramic coating can be prone to chipping too. I got a forge turbo blanket for my GT17, fits nicely! Edited by Steve220 on 6th Jul, 2019. |
