turbo blanket

[OSCS]

been thinking about buying one. I would like to hear if anyone actually noticed a difference with one. If so where can i find a good one for an externally wastegated s366? is one better than the other? I see cheap ones on amazon etc.

I have had good luck with mine. Keeps the heat in where its suppose to be. Really helps cuz I have coolant lines going to my CHRA. I got mine from WOP. Might want to get ahold of Jacob.
Edit: I should add that I do notice a quicker spool up and around 50* lower EGT's

I just ordered a t4 and t6 blanket from ptpturboblankets they seem to have good reviews all over the web. I wont be much help on wether they help or not since in doing injectors and hpops. But from my readsearch guys on ls1tech say they do indeed help with spoolup and underhood temps. The only potential issue is with holding heat in too long after shutdown and cooking the oil in the turbo. But ive only seen that mentioned once or twice after reading up on them for 6 hours..

i wonder the same thing for a h2e prob would help on under hood heat ?

Ive read you can touch the the blanket right after a hard run and its just warm so id imagine its good at holding heat in.

never really thought about it cooking the oil.. something to think about. I would think it might actually help with the longevity of the turbo IE preventing rapid cool down. All in all it's got to help i mean it is by far the main source of heat under the hood.

how big of pain in the ass do you think it would it be to install one of the PTP blankets with the turbo under the hood?

well look at that PTP is less than a 2 hour drive from my house...

Hardest part would be putting the wire ties on to hold it together. But im sure it could be done.

saw this one for a little cheaper. It says its for a non gated housing which should work seeing as my gate is external?

I might just pull the DP off to make it easier. PTP's blanket looks to be better made. Hopefully someone will chime in whos ran one or the other. I know junkie got one from amazon for like $70 but i dont think it was specific to the s300 series turbos. I wonder if there is a difference or even a reason to spend the extra $30 on a series specific blanket.

sounds like you got your moneys worth.. 50 degree drop is alot! i wouldnt have thought a blanket would drop EGT's at all much less 50 degrees

Looks like a good option as well. Matt just put one on his 6.4 in the mpd compounds thread.
