Heat Shield vs. Turbo Blanket
I recently turboed my N/A and now I'm looking to get it track ready. Part of my concern is heat, notably the turbo. The two affordable options I've found are using a turbo blanket and/or using a heat shield. The factory used heat shielding so I can presume that's a good option, however they also designed the system so it would last for 20 years and be super reliable, rather than possibly the best option for someone who puts about 1500mi/year on the car.
Thoughts?
