Does anyone know the website, store, where i can get a heat jacket for a T51 size turbo 1.0A/r? [ i **think** its the same size as a garrett GT42 1.0A/R ]
also, what is the best method of wrapping the exhaust manifold in heat-retaining wrap?
Do i have to overlap by 50% [making it twice as thick wrap all the way round the exhaust manifold tubes, or just a slight [say 3mm] overlap?
pro's and con's to doing this?
if wrapped incorrectly - could this cause a problem, or just be not as efficient?
I am thinking about doing this - as i 'hear' - doing a turbo hot-side jacket and exhaust manifold heat-wrap can increase powerband by earlier RPM / and give faster spool up [and/or] less 'lag pause' before boost? (something to do with the increased heat - by losing less heat to the engine bay air through the hot exhaust manifold tubing?
