I had one of the FI ones I think, $250 blanket...rotted and fell apart pretty much, then caught on fire but thats another story. Got a $50 ebay blanket and pretty much same story, but does its purpose.
Also, the amount of timing you are running has a huge impact on the amount of heat in the engine bay. I had my idle timing set around 20 degrees and there was so much heat coming off my turbo and pipes it was nearly painful to check my transmission fluid level. Bumped it up to 30 degrees and it was much better.

I got mine from XPW
XPW Turbo Blankets - XPW Products
So far it's held up great, steel mesh lined. Coulda went one size smaller but it keeps things cool under the hood.
