The t78 kit comes with this gay flat piece of metal that you're supposed to put between it and the engine. It does little for heat containment. The blanket will help worlds in helping reduce underhood temps versus a shield. But hey, its your setup, do it however you'd like.

Yes, better to replace a t-78 after 80k miles of hard use, than replace an engine ever 20k due to heat transfer issues (coolant/oil/intake air).
When I had my blanket on, exhaust fully wrapped, vented hood, fmic and fan mod, I never saw coolant temps above 92*C while moving, even climbing the mountains in deals gap runs. I could go for a HARD run and pop the hood and literally touch the turbo blanket for a couple of seconds.

You have 2 options.
1) run the turbo "open" with little or no heat confinement, let the radiant heat out into the engine bay where it soaks everything and causes the slow death of the engine.
2) contain all the heat via blankets/wrap and keep the heat in the exhaust, not the engine bay...harder on the turbo over a long period of time, much better for the rest of the engine bay.
