  1. So if I go with a blanket theres no need for a shield right? And I will probably just heat wrap the DP to be safe.
  2. Hey guys, first time posting here hoping I could get some advice. I'm building a 05 LGT with a 5EAT. One of my local machine shops is putting my engine together. Just for some background info I went with a IAG Stage 2 shortblock with new heads and cams, Brian Crower valvetrain, KillerB oil pickup, baffle and pan and some more goodies for the longblock. Currently have a VF52 turbo, mishimoto TMIC , IAG AOS, and the Uppipe waiting to be bolted on when i get the engine back. I'm also getting Invidia DP, catback, 740CC injectors with a walbro pump, HKS BOV, Cobb CAI, Upgraded coil packs, PU motor mounts, mishimoto radiator, expansion tank and trans cooler to complete the build. I'm aware that my block will be able to handle much more than what i can get out of a VF52 but my main goal is to build a reliable setup that can be tracked for multiple seasons/years without major issues. So I started doing some research on turbo blankets and heat wrap and I couldn't find any information on what needs to be heat wrapped and what shouldn't. Might sound like a dumb question, but I'm not sure if i should wrap the headers, uppipe, downpipe, catback??? My turbo's getting a blanket but I have no clue what to do with the rest of the exhaust. Any advice from people with experience on this stuff would be greatly appreciated.
