The link below is for a turbo blanket from a guy in the states. I am planning on picking one up but wanted to see if anyone else was interested so we could save a little on shipping. Shipping is 25 and then about 5 for each additional, if we get enough people then I will see if I can arrange a cheaper price on the blankets themselves.

You forgot the link

LOL thank you sir!

I want one but gunna get a price from zig first

I would like one as well. Didn't know they were on ebay now. I wouldnt mind getting in on a group buy and save a bit.

Kyle, that was my original plan but he doesn't have them in the store anymore. I think we should wait and see what he says when he returns and then we can go from there.

I would be interested in one aswell, group buy would be ideal!

Ziggy'll be back Friday night. At some point a few days after that, he can look into bringing these in.

Paul, do you think he would be able to do a group by and offer a better price than the one that is on Ebay?

No idea, I'm going to let Ziggy work his own magic. I doubt, however, that he will fixate on that one link and ignore any other source. Any details beyond that, you'll just have to wait until he gets back.

Ok sounds good, thank you Paul

I'd be interested in one as well. Please keep me updated

This is my first time with Internet access since getting here, so cant say too much right now, but will look into this. USUALLY the ebay sellers are already selling at rock bottom price and wont give any further quantity discounts, but I will try when I get back. Anyone know of other sources for these where I can try looking?

I remember when I first found out about the blankets this is the guy that was making them on tuners (I am pretty sure) oh and this dude is a supporting vendor on tuners too.

You can also find them here, this is his actual website:

Guys name is Levi, great guy to deal with & great product.

Me likey. Rob has the set up I want.

Yea rob has that blanket, see what you can do ziggy, would rather give you the business.

+1. Flawless transaction for a great product.

It says FP manifold only? Do they make a 16g cover?

This is a manifold blanket, are you trying to find a turbo blanket?

Does anyone on here know if this would work with my HAFE manifold?

It should work, I don't think that protrussion is big enough to make it not fit. I assume your not running a wastegate off it?

You want to look here:

The WRX blankets will fit a 16g.


Guys with FP turbo's can also get a specific turbo blanket from these guys as well.

The FP mani blanket will fit on a stock exhaust mani but the fitment isn't great. It was designed specifically for the FP mani, so it'll be abit sloppy on the stock mani's. I was talking to Levi about making a blanket for the FP turbo as well (just because I like everything to match). So that might be available in the future as well.

Anyone notice any performance difference, or lower coolant temps from these blankets?

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing a thread on ecmlink regarding this exact manifold blanket in a test with and without it on, last I heard it helped a lot with underhood temps, not so much coolant temps. I wouldnt assume there would be any performance increase by using the blanket, however I may be wrong.

Yea I just don't think that containing all that heat in the exhaust manifold and turbine housing is beneficial to it in the long run at all. I guess the only benefit is keeping underhood temps cooler and it looks super KEWL!
I'd like to see an exhaust manifold that has had extended mileage with this blanket on, not your typical DSM'er who's car sits in the garage most of the year. I just can't see myself abusing my FP manifold like that, it will probably end up cracking and warping

A couple of my friends with HIGH HP cars ALL run turbo blankets and their cars are just not faster than mines, so for now, I'll pass on the theory....

Basically, the blankets are for containing the heat, as did the Factory sheilds.

Melting rad fanss, my carbon hood, and cooking alternators is not something I like to see. the blankets are not performance upgrades IMO, but rather they save your other parts from cooking, and they help keep the under hood temps down which would help intake temps if your not running a sealed box around your air filter.

And they look clean and nice to boot.

I got over 400,000 km on my car now. I don't cook my rad fans and never have. My CF hood has the factory heat shield on it and the clear coat still looks mint. My car has never seen an exhaust manifold or 02 housing heat shield and I don't go through alternators either. I don't have an airbox around my FP air intake. My car runs 10's like this on pump gas. I understand the lower underhood temps and looking nice to boot at the expense of my exhaust manifold. What else am I missing?

I don't want to play follow the leader here, lol. I'm pretty much looking for facts, that's all

Well arent you a F*cking GOD then. Jesus Christ do you have to nit pick about everything. frack off already

Ok, I guess I should just buy the stupid blanket then, SOLD!

Sorry man, I'll just keep my facts to myself next time

Are you still here? The party is over, everyones gone home. Get outta here and stop eating all the cheetos.

Its a heat sheild moron. Buy one or dont. Who cares. I want one and obviously so do others.

LoL, right I forgot you OWN this place.

Here we go again lmao

I've worked on multiple co-gen plants with gas and steam powered turbines.

They all have thermal blankets and such.


Just sayin'

Nah, Reza's Godly TEN SEDOND DSM and his infinite knowledge suggests heat shields are a myth and there's absolutely no use for them and we are all sheep for buying them.

Everyone bow down to Rob and don't ask him any constructive questions that he can't answer, or else you know what happens ^^^^^^
CLUB DSM CANADA for you folks!
Call me whatever you like Rob, I really don't care.....

Buddy, we are friends, but when you start sh!t, Im gonna call you on it

Luv u bye bye

I know, but I just realized why I barely learn anything from this site, and you didn't call me on anything AT ALL !
Love you too my man!

Reza, its a heat shield. Honestly bro,

How can it NOT benefit a turbo setup that no longer can use the factory shields.

Sorry I don't have numbers. Hows this.......I'll take it to the track, and run without it.

Then IMMEDIATELY install them, and take another run, and POST RESULTS RIGHT AWAY...lol

My stock heat shield did nothing, I have heard people can put there face on the blanket after they have run the car, I couldn't even touch the shield after a run.

Well it still protects the rest of the engine. The stock shield may be hot, but it's made of metal, so that's normal. Its goal is to keep the hot air from going everywhere, hence it's bell shape to keep the heat down low where the hot components are.
