I originally intended just to do the turbo blanket which has slight performance gains in spool time and boost based on this study (repositories.lib.utexas.edu/items/76344ae4-f923-4e30-94ff-45d6a1187191) mind you the study was done on a huge cummings diesel turbo and the gains on this small turbo are probably negligible, but same concepts apply. Theory is it will also extend the life of under the hood components. The way the stock heat shields are mounted removal of the top turbo heat shield would leave the entire top of the DP exposed so it only made sense to also get the lava blanket for the DP. I will be dropping the install video later this weekend with the new dyno results.
@@koaticus Gotcha that makes sense. I was thinking of just keeping all of the stock heat shields on the new DP, but I understand if you wanted to run a blanket on the hot side of the turbo, then you would need to blanket the rest of the downpipe. I think I also saw a company car running the whole blanket like that, can't remember if it was TSP, PRL, or someone else. I appreciate you making these videos on your ITS. I'm hoping to pick one up in a couple months, and these videos are keeping me sane until then.
Almost 5 months. Yes, I ordered from TSP back in November and received the first downpipe in the beginning of February however it was not Cerakoted so had to send it back and got the Cerakoted one last week. That is why I already had the titanium bolts from the first shipment.

What made you decide to use a heat blanket instead of the stock heat shields on the TSP downpipe?

How long did it take
You to get your down pipe from.TSP

@@koaticus Okay, thank you. So that's a normal shipping time. It's gonna be a while until I get mine.
