Turbo blanket for tightly fit turbo
I've been doing a single swap with the A-Spec short tube turbo kit, so it puts the turbo between the LIM and the strut tower with about 1cm of clearance on each side.
I tried fitting on a cheap CXRacing one, but it was too thick. Wanted to get your recommendations on a thin turbo blanket before ordering another one.
Thanks guys!

Best is a heat shield that does not trap the heat into the turbo.
Something like:
Garrett Turbine Housing Heatshield, Stainless : atpturbo.com

Just so you know, that may not work I a tight fit, I had an HKS one and it stuck out about an inch to an inch and a half from the turbo causing it to hit the intake manifold, I ended up just getting a blanket instead, the blanket touches the manifold also but can squish down allowing fitment onto the manifold unlike the shield would allow

I use a "cool_turbo" blanket, it's pretty thick but has very good heat protection. The ptp blanket is thinner and the lava one is even thinner and has an even higher heat protection. I'm sure a cheap *** blanket would be even thinner but require far less protection. If I ever buy another blanket it'll probably be the lava blanket. Turblowns inconel is probably the best but not inexpensive, it's decently thin and has excellent heat protection.
