Taking the plunge!!

Well after a lot of debate Noble off the very nice guys at Jetstream next week to have a new pair of GT25 snails fitted then off down to essex to the main man Jasper for a remap.
My qustion is while fitting new snails would you tuck them in with a blanket or cover to keep the heat in and if so does anybody have a contact number to order them from ?
Ive tried ebay but only ones that mention Gt25s come from China and take about 3 years to get here
Thanx Mark

turbo blankets are a very good idea... I fitted one to mine even though it was already ceramic coated as it really does help keep heat in the turbo and out of the engine bay.

sorry have no idea of best place to get one from though.

Owen developments do them for the gt28 maybe worth contacting them

I bought the blankets from china and they didn't take too long to arrive. Much cheaper and good quality I'd say.

Not used the turbo blankets but got other heat protection from these guys before, not cheap but good quality

Agree, I brought the same ones

Will be changing my 28's back to GT25's soon (due to leaky seal), and will get mine wrapped. The heat soak is massive of these, especially the front turbo. Feel the heat on the rear bulk head/shelf area, it gets very hot. I never had an issue with heat from the tunnel, but got that mod done anyway in an effort to reduce cabin heat, but engine heat soak is an issue for me. Has anyone tried to address this problem maybe with better heat refective insulation??

Will putting blankets just on the turbos make much difference, or do you need to do the whole exhaust?

turbo blanket and downpipes will make quite a big difference to under clam heat... arguable if its worth it after the downpipes though, i've not bothered.
