Turbo blankets & wrap do a great job at reducing radiant heat but can cause significant problems as well.
Corky Bell posts occasionally over on the Miata forums & gives a bit of insight, i'll post a link to a similiar discussion over there. regarding turbo blankets - MX-5 Miata Forum
Cheers, Trevor.

Thanks for this info! If Corky Bell doesn't like turbo blankets, then I don't either. I guess one less thing on the list.

edit: For anyone wondering - Corky's take is that the blanket will have a substantial negative impact on the life of the turbo itself and he suggests shielding the surrounding heat sensitive components themselves instead of blanketing the turbine.
