shralp Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Finally got around to installing some Xmas presents on the track car today. Grimmspeed thermal coated heat shield, Cobb Pitch Stop and a Faction Fab turbo blanket. Everything went on without any problems, each of these is pretty basic to install. Decided to use some extra Reflecta-Gold to do the inside of the heat shield as well. I like the way Faction Fab is sewing up their blankets, instead of it being a flat piece, (a la Cobb, PTP, etc.) this one is a multi piece sew up. This makes really nice fit around around the snail since its pre-shaped to that spec. Also super happy to see that both sides of my Grimmspeed AOS were clean as a whistle inside. The Crawford AOS is definitely doing a great job. I haven't taken off the TMIC to check it since the original install so its had two track seasons on it so far.

NORULZleggy Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 I was thinking about getting a turbo blanket. Is it worth it? I mean I do not track my car, but I have no problem getting one if it's worth it. You will like the Crawford AOS, it does a great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shralp Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 Given the cost and complexity of install of a blanket, I’d say it’s worth it if your staying TMIC. I ran a PTP one under my hacked OEM heat shield when I was running a VF52 in this car and definitely felt that the intercooler was colder with it than running without. My PTP one was kinda oily and I didn’t put it back on when I swapped in the 16G and I noticed the difference. Yup my the Crawford AOS is definitely doing what it was designed for!

NORULZleggy Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hey what size turbo blanket do I get for the VF52? Is it the T25-T28 (and it that the same size as the t3/t4?) I have one I want and just need the right size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shralp Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 If you get the Faction Fab one they will list one for “OEM fitment Subaru turbos”. Most other manufacturers list a similar spec as well. There’s a bit of a range that they will fit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
