Alright well im looking to cool things down in the engine bay a bit, and i was wondering if any of you have used or are still using one of these turbine heat wraps i have seen? if so could you post some pictures, and let me know how you liked it (did it work some what/ did it stay on) and what brand you are using

I have heard it will crack the turbine housing in a couple years but i have never seen it happen.

Yeah im also interested in these. The only thing i don't like about them is they fit so loose. Looks like a bag over turbine instead of a nice wrap. Do they make any size specific ones?

Not that I've found...you just have to try and install it very cleanly, which usually still ends up making it look like a bagged turbo
I am running the DEI heat wrap on my setup. Mine looks fine, you just have to take your time and do it right.

I have one on mine..... not sure the brand or anthing, picked it up from my father. If I remember, I'll get some pics of it and post them. It goes around just the turbine, and its form fitted.
