Manifold blankets are better.

Yeah. They make thicker, asbestos-esque oven-mitt-like pieces that buckle around turbos and manifolds that work really, really good.

It's something that I'd consider getting if I went to a turbo that required an aftermarket manifold. It wouldn't look right on a stock manifold or turbo...

Unless you were trying to keep underhood temperatures at a minimum for some reason.

The manifold blankets help hold the heat in and helps spool the turbo.
