Forecast?
Low intake temps from now on.
Before the blanky.....
After the blanky... look how cozy it is.
I just have to get some of the safety wife out from my Karting tool box and tighten it up.
Just in time for the Autocross at Moroso Sunday.

.. I would think that the bag would trap a lot more heat then a shield...
the concern ive got is condensation with those blankies...

LOL!! I think the turbo will be toast before rust will consume it.
That blanket gets so hot I doubt any condensation forms, its probably over 1000° inside there. No room for moisture.
If I get 3 years out of this turbo I will be happy. By then a newer better turbo will be the hot item and I will be heading for it.
My T-04E lasted 4 years, if I get 4 years out of this GT35R I will be very happy.
The heat reduction is dramatic under the hood EVERYTHING is cooler, best $150 I have spent on this car.

Jim, I just noticed you're running a pulley in place of the airpump, A+ to you sir!
Thanks.
I tried one of those underdrive belt / pulley setups and my water pump was slipping, that was one of the reasons I destroyed my engine last time around at a track day.
