wrapping my turbo, advantave or not?
 

i have a 91 non-ic cummins and was wondering if wrapping my turbo would have an advantage as far as boost goes or not? any input is great!!! thnak you

advantages for boost? i don't think so. it will help eliminate some of the heat under the hood due to the exhaust, but it will not increase boost any..... as far as i know

okay i figured that. i had a teacher tell me in college that it would help. i guess he was bullshitting me
:dang:

Where can I purchase the wrap for the turbo? My cousin was telling me today I need to do this. I'm interested in keeping some of the heat off my A/C box in my F350 swap. It is only a few inches away at most.

i agree with benjamin.the only thing you wrap them for is to protect things on the outside from burning up :humm:

geno's garage has it i'm pretty sure

Theoretically it'll help you make more boost; more heat will be utilized by the turbo instead of going under the hood. In practice, however, I would imagine that the largest benefit would be reduction of under-hood temperatures.

Heat is energy that cant be used to operate the turbo, so wraping it will be an improvment, enough to notice? Maybe maybe not.

well i would be interested in knowing if it makes a differece that a person can tell i dont think but i could be wrong wouldnt be the 1st time :w2:

Some swear by it.
