MS-75 Regular Location: Adelaide Registered: June 2002	Re: turbo bags Tue, 10 May 2005 00:49 Chris-considering you are using a big blower, wrapping the turbo and runners will drop the boost threshold of the system. The setups that get fried by wrapping are those which already glow red without a bag/shielding. Once you bag them up they get even hotter and exceed design temps. Cooling the engine bay is a useful side-effect, but the response increases are mainly due to keeping heat in the exhaust gases-not by cooling the engine bay. Make sure you insulate the runners as well. Retaining the heat in such a large blower set-up can drop the boost threshold by hundreds of RPM depending on the arrangement. If your manifold has a large surface area start there. Setting that side of things up well will allow you to select a lower stall speed on your converter and hence higher efficiency in the deep end (ie-more MPH-you’ll be over 120mph for sure!!!) Take it easy mate Sean PS-Keep in mind that metal is an infra-red mirror. Ie, most effective is a shiny heat shield with insulation on the outside. Put a small heat shield on and then bag it and you've got the best of both worlds. The metal reflects the radiated heat back at the turbo and the insulation reduces the rate at which heat absorbed by the shield is lost out into the engine bay. (do this in 2 layers and it's even better, etc) [Report message to a moderator]
