As the cold nights creep in, there\u2019s never been a better moment to treat your big turbo to a nice new blanket to keep it warm, or cool\u2026 depending on how you look at it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no doubt the tight confines of any engine bay could benefit from slightly less underbonnet heat, particularly if you\u2019re heading along the path of ECU remaps and extra boost.<\/p>\n

The sleeve you see here is called a\u00a0\u2018turbo blanket\u2019, and it could save your engine bay from a lot of damage. Turbochargers generate a lot of heat, but a\u00a0blanket\u00a0keeps that heat contained, preventing it from spreading throughout the engine bay and hastening the aging of vital plastic or rubber components.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Developed as part of the build process of the Forge Mk1 Golf, which runs a large aftermarket Garrett turbocharger, it was deemed vital in that car to prevent the driver from suffering from toasty feet resting against the bulkhead. As a result, the Forge turbo blanket fits a multitude of different turbo applications including:<\/p>\n

T4<\/p>\n

T5<\/p>\n

T25<\/p>\n

The Garrett GTX28 and GTX30 Range<\/p>\n

Borg Warner EFR6258<\/p>\n

Not only is it designed to assist in the protection and prolonging of engine components, its unique design it will assist in reducing turbo lag and produce cooler air intake temperatures.<\/p>\n

Once fitted the material will lose it flexibility over the first few heat cycles as the material cures, so once fitted it should not be removed as damage will likely be caused. This unique process ensures that exhaust gases remain in the hot side of the turbo, away from the cool side and the intake air path.<\/p>\n

Made from a mix of carbon fabric, calcium magnesium silicate wool and high temperature silica fabric, it can withstand internal temps of up to 2300 deg F and has an exterior direct contact limit of 1800 deg F.<\/p>\n

It features a retail price of \u00a350.39 inc VAT with more information from\u00a0 <\/span>HYPERLINK “https:\/\/www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\/” \\t “_blank” www.forgemotorsport.co.uk\u00a0(.com in the US) ENDS.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
