Starting to read up on these. First red flag I see is one maker recommends not using it for a daily driver, saying when you park the car the blanket works so well retaining the heat that you start cooking the oil and such and as a result shorten the life of the turbo.
From the website..... ------------------------- As these Blankets are designed to retain heat within the turbo, it is recommended that the blanket be removed for vehicle"Garaging" as retaining the heat without the water/oil circulation may cause long term reduced life for the turbo (this is particularly relevant when used with non-water cooled plain bearing units. ----------------------------
What do you experts think?
Reason I ask is that there is no doubt with the STS it spools quicker when warmed up. From my testing it's about a 400rpm difference. I can live with it but if there is something easy with no negative effects I can do to make it more consistent I would like to do it.
That 340 Dart GTS brings back a lot of memories as mine was Bronze with a White stripe & my cousin picked up a new Challenger & I went with him for the 1st ride home from the dealer. They all remind me of my teenage years! [/quote
put the y hose back on That should raise the boost 4 pounds and try it. I used to run tuner style back when but wouldn't now.
Are you running an alky chip? If not try running with the alky turned off. If you want to run alky with a non alky chip you might have to play with the fuel pressure- eg lower it . Course if you are running an alky chip well forget that.
Another thought are you running a volt booster of any kind.
