Nizpro Member 89 Member For: 19y 2m 1d Gender: Male Posted 19/11/07 09:26 PM Share Posted 19/11/07 09:26 PM (edited) Scott's Ute was one of the first cars we tested our new intercoolers on. He left it with us for a couple of weeks extra so we could run back to back testing on a 450plus rwkw vehicle. Chip torque remapped it to suit the Queensland weather once it arrived home. I never road tested it although Dave said it was nearly a waist of time considering as it came on boost it just hazed the tyres in the first 4 gears.Heat shielding is a far better way of containing heat. Turbo blankets and heat wrap trap so much more heat in that the turbine housing and extractors if they are wrapped fail. With shielding you still get air flow to remove the heat while still protecting the rest of the engine bay from radiant heat.Cheers Simon Edited 26/11/07 11:29 PM by Nizpro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think that would be because blankets are just easier to fit or do they have any benifits at all over heatshielding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
