Fitting turbo blankets.

Post by afennell »

I have a blanket ready to go on to my new turbo as I had to cut the standard shield back.

What the best way to secure them for a nice fit, the blanket has securing hooks.

Wire is used around the hooks to hold them in place.

That makes sense, the blanket i have has not got any wire included unfortunately. Is this normal wire or does it also have to be heat resistant?

I already had the blanket, it was a DEi one, it just had not come with any wire to fix it in place.

Purchased some wire from ebay off a comany selling the PtP ones.

What do you think so far .

Engine bay temp is down and does seem to spool quicker to me .

Unfortunately i have not taken the car out for a drive yet. I will be out this weekend and will report back.

I hope it does help the engine bay temp as after cutting the standard hear shield back to fit the new turbo its definitely hotter, especially when sitting.
