Default VF43 Turbo Blanket
Thought it best to start a new thread rather than talking in the rolling road meet.

Problem we think is too much heat being given off. Si reckons a turbo blanket could help but said see what others think as well.

What is everyone's thoughts? And if yes, what make to go for? Going by research I need a T3 size apparently.

Ouch, they do have a bit of a price tag! I shall see how it runs before investing in one.

Reference back to the fuel pump, this is the exact one I bought, so if it is dodgy, it's got a warranty on it as well.
