Wanted to know if anyone has had any good/bad experience with these?
Am thinking of getting one to cut down under bonnet temps. The turbo setup I have sits quite close to the underside of the bonnet and requires sheilds to keep the heat away. Already is HPC extreme coated but still very hot.
best thing to do if it is hpc coated and still abit hot is to put a louvre in the bonnet above it. one that is the same area as the turbo will be fine. then put your heat sheild below it as a deflector to take the low pressure air up past it and threw the louvre.

great i diea i was thinking of doing that as well....the turbo wraps/bags/ whatever are really good, i havent used one but technically they are not only to lower the temp under the bonnet but to trap heat in the turbo aparently the hotter the gasses get the easier/faster they will flow....i'm not 100% on this so if i'm wrong please correct me....be nice

Gas expands when hot, hotter it is, more it expands, the "bigger" the gas in the turbo, the faster it must move, the faster the turbo spins up.
But then you'd get similar problems you hear about header wraping & anti-lag systems, they'd get much hotter & the turbine housing would crack wouldn't it?
