TUFXRT6 Silver Donating Members 687 Member For: 18y 9m 25d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 04/11/07 09:26 PM Share Posted 04/11/07 09:26 PM (edited) senna_TI read from one of the box's for the turbo blankets that they should be taken off after use, due to the retention of heat.When I can remember which company made the blanket I will look up the site for you.AE86's are the greatest little buggers going round, they are now really starting cost some serious cash to buy.... probably because every one has crashed them drifting.RegardsTUFXRT6 Edited 04/11/07 09:27 PM by TUFXRT6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should probably read up on the Garrett web-site if anything, my original problem was how badly the standard heatshields work, can't help it I guess...

The water travelling through the bearing housing doesnt have any effect on the temp in this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
