I understand that the turbo does not actually produce the gas, it the turbine side just uses the gas to spin the compressor. So if I understand you correctly, you are saying that insulating the side that uses the gasses to spin the compressor end would increase the efficient use of heated exhaust gas?
What about the concerns regarding overheating the turbo cooling system (oil)?
I obviously don't have headers and have no plans to use any, I just saw this product and wondered why I had not heard of any Saab drivers using it, and if there was a reason.
Here is a description of the product from the Summit website. It goes for $82.00:
"Thermo-Tec Turbo Kits were designed to protect, improve performance, and eliminate turbo lag of a turbo charger. These complete kits, to contain the heat produced by a turbo, fit a wide variety of turbines. These custom cut-to-fit kits come with an excessive amount of material to cover turbos from the smallest automotive application to heavy-duty truck applications. Turbo Kits are available for four, six, and eight cylinder kits. Each kit contains a roll of Exhuast Insulating Wrap 1 or 2 in., 1 yard of Aluminized Heat Barrier, and a 3 in. x 6 in. piece of Exhaust Insulating Wrap. Hardware and instructions are included.
