Adam S. Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 Anyone know where to find that Turbo Jacket the car came with from GM. They (GM) has discontinued it for a while. Thanks Adam Quote
Prospeeder Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 j/y, ask around the turbo gp board, ask people who are parting out, mabye from a company who makes turbos, like garrette for a turbo insolation blanket for the T25 for somthing Quote
LukeZ34 Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 I'd stray away from Junkyard turbo blankets, as most of them will be fragile from old age and will probably fall apart as you remove them. Here's one, it's a bit pricey, but the company has a good reputation from other users on this forum and the TGP forums. http://www.designengineering.com/products.asp?m=sp&pid=31 Quote
Adam S. Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Posted June 21, 2005 Cool Thanks that price is not bad at all. Anyone tried using just a fabricated metal plate to cover the turbo, there is already a small metal sheet on the bottom part of the down pipe, I was thinking the same for the top and around the turbo?

RareGMFan Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 Not bad? For that price, it better come with a pillow and Aerobed. Quote
joberlee Posted June 21, 2005 Report Posted June 21, 2005 ". * Designed to reduce turbo lag ... " How in the hell can a this thing do that? :shock: Is it a magical heat shield? Quote
TurboKid Posted June 22, 2005 Report Posted June 22, 2005 I have a D.E.I kiy on my car as well. It reduce's lag by allow quicker flow through out the exhaust (more heat). Thats why the kit comes with the blanket, as well as the down pipe wrap. I also had plenty left over to do my intake pipe to my TB. Expensive?? I paid $100 Canadian for the whole kit. My buddy who works at GM priced me out the original blanket (I know they are discontinued). The grand total would be $989.00 U.S.............so I don't think we should be complaining at all how much the D.E.I. kit is. Especially for how well it works. Quote
J Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 when i went to the JY this weekend, the TSTE had one on it and i was gonna take it off, and like everyone said it fell apart. I was sort of pissed. So you might want to just buy a new one Quote
qmtgp Posted July 4, 2005 Report Posted July 4, 2005 do you have to have the blanket, cause mine is in pieces right now and i dont have money for a new one. Quote
god910 Posted July 5, 2005 Report Posted July 5, 2005 OH NO, I'm replying. The lag is "reduced" by keeping the gas as hot as it can. Cold exh. expands and looses velocity. I'm pooped. I'll reply again in 3-5 months. Quote
