Turbo Blanket

[euan_r]

Hi, been thinking of replacing oem heat shield with a heat blanket prior to fitting larger tmic to help with heat control. Can anybody recommend a good quality one to fit?

No idea Euan, mine is ceramic coated so no covers - seems to work ok

I got mine from MIJ Exhausts on eBay recently as I couldnt be hooped getting one in from PTP in the states.

Cant comment on its effect with conviction as I dont have a temp sensor hooked up yet but it's noticably cooler under the bonnet and can touch it after a run out. I had no shielding at all before though.

I have a PTP one on the RA and it works very well, the MIJ one looks very similar.

Thanks for replies. I seem to remove oem heatshield a fair few times during the course of a year whilst tinkering. How are they for durability? Do they harden up over time like heat wrap?

The one i have hasnt but its not a road car.

pretty sure cosworth do them as well as ive looked into getting one for mine when i start throwing money down the well again

just a bigger top mount then or have you decided on a juicier turbo?

Think i will just get cheaper uk option as even ptps own site states they do harden over time.

Dave just td05 sleeve bearing turbo as ive already had to replace vf28 recently, nothing fancy. 16gxt or maybe even evo3 compressor wheel.
