^^ Yes, That's why I asked for the hotside. But you have gains from the compressor also IF you insulate the hotside, manifold, down pipe.
I would think the t3 blanket for the turbine housing would be kinda small don't you think? Since most of the t3/t4 turbos have a .63 - .83 a/r housing. Stock TII hot sides are 1.0 a/r. S4 and S5 have the same hotside a.r and compressor housing.

Yea, I tried it. It will fit, but the stock turbo is placed very close to the intake manifold; it makes it a very tight fit. I was kind of afraid that being completely wedged between the manifold and the hotside would cause the material to ignite.... any comments on that?

Before I put my engine back in the car I need to replace my OEM heatshield also. I'm new to turbo blankets. And I've seen them varying prices. Is a blanket a blanket a blanket?
I'm getting some things from Prosport anyway and figured this might be a good option. It's either that or find an OEM heatshield....but those are all going to be 20yrs old and probably not much life left in them.

My problem with the old one was the welded tabs that fastened the shield down were coming free. This happened before I detonated the engine and the shield was partially lying on the turbo and rattling. I got annoyed one day and cut it off.
I'll make a WTB thread and see if I can find one. But I do like the idea of putting something new on rather than worry about having to mess with an OEM shield down the road.

Any recent changes over the years with this?
I need to do the same to my S5.
I got this and it is a close fit. (short about and 1" on length) and " on downpipe side.

but thinking that I can get a custom blanket made that is like this that will fit the S4/S5 turbos better
