Default Is a turbo blanket better than a OEM heatshield?

Are there any issues with using a turbo blanket compared to an OEM heatshield?

As the blanket is designed to keep the heat in, it will result in higher internal temperatures – have read that this can improve spool, but what effect does this have on oil temps and longevity of seals etc?

Running a standard TMIC so reducing the temps around the intercooler would seem to be a good idea, but don’t want to shorten the life of the turbo…

Anyone have any mid- or long-term experience of using a blanket?

Cheers
