Turbo blanket to me is the Nordstrom zoo character blankie I would give my son to go to sleep when he was a baby. A couple of nose tickles and he was out. If not it would take his forever to go to sleep.

turbo blanket just like on the grand nationals and many other cars just keeps the heat down in the engine compartment and OCD took over again. Ended up painting some of the engine comp. items black. Cover for windshield wiper fluid/brake res tank cover/bracket that attachs to turbo from block painted all flat black also the red battery tray cover. Going to prob do the engine oil cover and the dipstick tube in black also just so the red intake sticks out more

So it's a heat shield?

 

[NORCAL SS]

yes but keeps a lot of the hot air inside the turbo so doesnt escape which in turn is more power and turbo spools up faster

well put the 215 40 17 bfg g force tas on the car and man they are 1.25 inches wider than the oem tire. Right now i have my front camber set to most postive i can which is in the -.5 range just so i get more life out of the tire. I can change camber pretty quick. Its pretty darn flush in front it barly taps the fenderlip. Ill roll the fender a little to see if that helps before changing the camber. Tomorrow I will also be measuring the rear if I can fit a 5 or 10mm spacer. Ill post up pics.

well pull the rear springs just now and dropped car down. Its very close and the pass sdie is on a block which tilts tire in more up top. Im not adding spacers and mounted the bfg tires are 1.5 inches wider than oem
