Hi guys,

The heat shield bracket's busted on my 2003 Blobeye STi, standard VF35. So, is it better to have a turbo blanket or just get a replacement heat shield bracket? The manifolds are being coated and wrapped.

If a jacket, what's the best one to get? Are there any drawbacks to them?

Cheers guys...

Best thing is to run a blanket and the heat shield, ran that setup on my car and it reduced underbonnet temps a lot. It also keeps the stock look, as below ( I painted the shield black after I modified it to fit my downpipe ).

I used a PTP blanket bought from the USA

Cheers mate, would like to keep it looking standard. You impressed with the PTP blanket?

Also, the PTP says for a standard WRX turbo, do they fit a VF35?

Yeah I was very impressed with the PTP. I think they do them for all types of turbos, best to drop them an email to confirm.

Cheers to 53 for a cracking deal on the PTP blanket, chuffed.

A few folk seem to run blanket AND heat shield, is that ok? Is there any chance the turbo can get TOO hot?
