Why use a Turbo Blanket?
Turbocharger insulating has been promoted for its benefits for
many years.
1. Insulating the
exhaust side of the turbo can increase power and decrease turbo lag.
Trapping heat in the turbine is actually a good thing. The
expansion of hot gasses will cause the turbo to spool faster.
2. It
Decreases under-hood temperatures.
Keeping the "under the hood" temps down is always a
good idea. Primarily, it allows the intake charge to stay cooler and the
Inter-cooler and radiator will work more efficiently.
Lower temps mean less wear and tear from temperatures on plastics and rubbers
and reduces heat transfer to the firewall and cab.
3. Keeping the turbo section
hot will help the exhaust gases flow faster, thus reducing spool times.
In physics, dissipating heat slowly
equates to wasted potential energy. Thermodynamics could explain that the more
heat you retain in the system, the greater the efficiency of the turbo is.
Warning! Turbo Blanket material
is made with Lava Rock fiber which can be an irritant to some people, similar
to fiberglass insulation. If you have sensitive skin, please consider
wearing gloves during your install.
