Default turbo blanket?

Which turbo blanket should i go with for a magnum 76mm?

I wrapped all of the hot side, but the turbo is very close to a/c lines and other things.

Thanks!

How many miles have you put on it and how has it held up?

Probally just a few thousand, due to the fact the truck just sits most of the time. But when I do drive it, I beat the **** out of it, lol...

I researched a blanket for my build and was cautioned that while a blanket protected misc things from the heat of the turbo, it could also trap the heat cooking it's contents. A turbo timer was suggested to accompany the blanket.

I know on my vehicle my turbo is in more of a confined space then that of a fullsize. I have been doing well so far and not melting anything except the tires.

Anyone have experience they care to relate?

I've ran a turbo blanket and wrapped pipes on every setup I've ever had on my truck. 100k boosted miles and no issues and no timers

My downpipe is ceramic coated and anything close to it is wrapped. Maybe I should give it a shot and get one.
