Also found myself in traffic...sat in bumper to bumper for 1 hour. Had ac on the whole time with windows down. Coolant temps were good, oil temps were good, afrs stayed where they should be. Very good considering the heat soak.

Very impressive. My car would overheat in conditions like that, but my turbo was in the worst spot possible.

Thanks!

That's pretty much always going to be a problem for us top mount fellas. I really cant wait to see the results of a full wrap in my bay with the air ducts. I really wish all of you guys were closer :? We really could've had some awesome Z meets that's for sure!

Haha I would like to think so. Seems like most of us in a way had to go the custom route for this sort of thing. So its atleast badass if not fast as hell.

Honestly I really thought the car wouldnt feel "stock" after a turbo build. But honestly as long as you aren't pushing too hard it feels barely different. Im really digging it.

Talk about quality. Not sure how long it will hold up but at $99 from the actual company Ill be happy even buying a new blanket every year.

Idk ive seen guys go through the DEI turbo blankets that are twice the cost in about 2 years. Its all subjective to driving styles however.
