Just found this on another site. Interesting.

Quote:

ey guys, thought i would just mention a problem iv'e just had using one of these turbo bags.
Yesterday after a cruise, a sudden exhaust noise started coming out from around the engine bay, so naturally i thought i blew a gasket or cracked manifold ect...
After letting it cool down, i had a quick look and couldnt see nothing obvious, so i removed my turbo bag(wich was xtr btw), and thats when i see the problem straight away.
the gasket blew away from the turbo-dump pipe section, looking at it more closely, i found that my dump pipe flange was warped! wich in turn caused this gasket to blow away.
So, the bag would be so effective, that it kept all that heat under it and in turn warped my flange from all that heat and the flange is fairly thick(12mm at least).
Now i need another flange and gasket

After i fix the problem, i will be going with either coating of the housing or stainless steel cover(probably the later).

So just a heads up for any1 thinking going this way
