Boosted Performance round 2 list

I will be running a blanket.

To clarify I'm going crazy on heat management. My Summit Racing order for header wrap, tubro blanket, inferno heat shield, thermo-tec, etc. was $600 on it's own. I've just heard way to many 'I popped my motor' horror stories from a melted WG hose or similar. I'm wrapping all piping until past the tranny, the turbo, all wires, all hoses and using the inferno on any items within line of site of the hot piping to do the best I can to prevent a heat related failure. I'm doing none of the above because I think it will help any in performance.

Although that will offer security and could never be a "bad" thing. I don't think the BP kit has ever had an incident of any heat related melting of anything.

Can you verify this Sasha?

I have a turbo blanket from my Powerlab top mount that I was thinking of using and I will be wrapping my x-over pipe for sure and probably down pipe.

Sasha told me that he has not had any reported heat related issues. However I know of some low mount turbo setups that have had heat releated issues. O&G roasted a WG line leading to his bent rod and ultimate motor build. In his case he wrapped everything that was touching but not everything in line of sight.

I'm more worried about heat build up while on the dyno for tunning. We should get good enough airflow on the road to keep things cool. All that being said I'm an engineer, we double up on everything!

Im also an Engineer and its true...we do double up on everything. Which is why I twin-charged my 350z..lol.. And with that I barely skimped by on having ridiculous amounts of failures. When I uninstalled both kits there were heat issues all over the place. Was only a matter of time. I got lucky and had the wastegate break off the crossover pipe which led me to the burnt o2 sensor wire which led me to the uninstall of everything.

You picking up a BP kit?

No I haven't. I had the Powerlab kit with the Stillen kit on the 350.


@ Sasha.. The blanket I had said it can be used for T3 or T4. Not sure how that translates but it was a bit saggy on the T3 and the T4 might be a tight fit.

I cant remember where this is addressed in the numerous threads on the BP kit but talking about all these heat issues makes me wonder. Have you ever looked into designing a heat shield as an option to the kit? Or would this truly not add any value in heat dissipation from the transmission?

I can speak from experience as I have both the turbo and blanket in hand. I seriously doubt the bag you are referring to will work. I bought the DEI turbo blanket for a T4 frame and because this turbo is a twin scroll, the bag does not cover the entire inlet side. It's close like probably 95ish percent but definitely not a complete cover.

No issues should ever come up if the instructions are followed. There is plenty of room to keep everything plenty far enough from anything that will get hot.

Your PL turbo blanket will be waaaaaay too small for this turbine housing. You need a large T4 blanket.

If you're following the excellent instruction manual you will find the waste gate hoses (any of the kits additional hoses for that matter) don't go anywhere near the hot stuff. That is unless you are making an effort to test the temperature rating of the silicone hoses by wire tying them to the hot pipes. If that's the case... I say good luck to you.
