    Turbo blanket or heat shield

    Any body used a turbo blanket an if they crack your turbo?

    Seen them go down in price recently an wasn't sure weather to try it out or make a heat shield as turbos right below our inlets

    Sam had one on his mk2 gt, but he won't know if it was any use though.

    They don't crack your turbo.

    Got my blanket thoroughly today, what a beast! Very thick an well made considering it's from china!!

    Looked up an a few places say your turbo won't last as long with it :/
