Question Thinnest turbo blanket available for 42r?

Hey guys, I'm having a problem with a blanket I bought for my new 42r. It's going to be too thick for the clearance I have right now. I've actually loosened the motor mounts and pried my motor furthest to the drivers side just to get my turbo to go onto the manifold. After getting it on there I marked the chassis to start "molding" the area with my air hammer.

I now have between 1/4" and 1/8" of room but that's with my motor being 3/4" off center at the crank pulley. I'm coming to the conclusion that I may either need to purchase a very thin turbo blanket or I might have to send my turbine housing out to get ceramic coated. I would rather have the blanket as I've seen better results and just for safety concerns.

So my question to you guys is what is the thinnest turbo blanket available for the 42r? Thanks in advance!
