Either way, hope the CARB papers get thru!
Thank you for the encouragement.

No turbo blanket is included because it's not necessary.

Our turbo kits' up pipe and downpipe are both ceramic coated on the inside and outside. This helps cut down on radiant engine bay heat significantly. We run a battery heatshield (included in the kit) and have monitored battery surface temperatures after track sessions and have found them to be a non-issue when using the heatshield. We did see some slight heat effects on the thin plastic battery tray after extended track sessions so we redesigned our heatshield to cover the tray as well. The injector ECU showed no heat effect. We provide thermal wrap in our kit to protect all wiring in the area of the turbo.

Hope that helps, cheers.
