Helpful Notes

• Blanket vs. Wrap: Use a turbo blanket on the turbine housing; use wrap on downpipes/hot pipes away from sensors.
• Clearances: Keep barriers off moving linkages; secure edges with stainless ties or clamps.
• Serviceability: Clamp-on shields remove quickly for inspection; adhesive barriers are best on clean, degreased panels.
• Moisture: After deep-water/salt exposure, rinse wrapped parts and let them dry fully to prevent corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a turbo blanket help spool on my VP44 truck?

Containing turbine heat improves energy retention, often sharpening spool and reducing under-hood radiant heat. See BD 1453522 or CPP T4 Blanket.

What should I wrap—manifold or downpipe?

Most owners wrap the downpipe first to protect nearby wiring/AC lines and reduce floorboard heat. Start with a high-temp wrap like Thermo-Tec 11006.

How do I protect fuel and transmission lines?

Slip on heat sleeves sized to the hose OD, such as Thermo-Tec 14005 or PPE silicone-coated sleeves for abrasion resistance.

Where should I use adhesive heat barriers?

On clean, flat panels (firewall, trans tunnel, airbox, intake tube); see Thermo-Tec Gold Barrier or adhesive tape for hoses/wires.

Do clamp-on shields fit 4" downpipes?

Yes—use the flexible 2' x 6" shield and trim/position for best coverage.
