Turbo Blankets

No. Those aren't made for high temperatures, and they have glue mixed into the fibers that will burn. I like the looks of the wrap it moldable sheets these guys sell.
I would make something like this:

then mold the insulation onto it, let it harden, then make another metallic cover for that.

I can confirm.
Bump the exhaust housing after a drive. Turns skin crispy white.

I have touched a turbo blanket after a 20min Cruise a few good throttle blips.
It’s hot but didn’t loose finger tips. Lol

Any one that is not wrapping and covering turbos is not making much power or they have huge holes in the top of their hoods to cool stuff down. If I make a real hit off of anything over 14-15psi I can still see my turbo manifold glowing red through the cracks in the header wrap.

Our of curiosity, would there be a material to make your own "heavier duty" turbo blanket?
AL foil has a melting point of ~1200* so that's not a good option. What about Ti Foil? Or a ceramic insulation? Some ceramic insulation I deal with are good for 2,200*-2,500* constant.
