Which turbo blanket for Gredy TDO4 ?
 

Not sure if anybody will know have an answer here ...

Id like to buy a turbo blanket but I don't know what my Gredy TDO4 compares to in size.
I measure about 17.5 to 18 in circumference on the hot side housing scroll.
but typically turbo blankets are sold/listed by turbo number and type such as T2 T3 etc.

I'd be able to find a better selection and price if I knew what other turbo blankets fit mine.

Thanks :party:

Its probably close to a t2

Thanks man !

I'm also trying to work out how the waste gate arm would work thru the thing.. I might have to cut a slit or hole in the material. (?)

This thing is also not a bad buy IMO. Granted if you're handy you can just make a heat shield, but if you're looking to buy something anyway...

Thanks for the link.
I had my eye on that heat shield. It looks nice but it does not fit with my particular DP. Not a big deal but I would have to hack in it to let it clear and if I want the shield to "shield" the DP I have to fabricate something.

I'm fairly sure I'm not going to go with a turbo blanket tho.

I have the turbo tony downpipe and just cut a small wedge out of the FM heat shield when I switched over to it.

The whole point is to shield stuff like the brake master cylinder and air intake from the turbo heat. I don't think the downpipe is quite as large a concern since it is bolted to the turbo.

Huh? You aren't shielding the downpipe from the turbo, you are shielding the downpipe from melty things in the engine bay.

Hey ! Thanks, that's a good tip. I may just get one of those and make it work.
I did construct a heat shield. Maybe shown above (?) but it got kinda funky cause I had to add a section to it.

I know that, but I thought that's what he was saying and why I was circumspect in my reply saying it "wasn't much of a priority." I think I just read into it the wrong way.

As for the issue of the downpipe needing heat shielding with the Greddy, there isn't much of the downpipe in the engine bay as the turbo is pretty close to the firewall and the downpipe does a big bend and goes right down into the tunnel. The bit that you need to cut out to fit the FM heat shield over the tony downpipe doesn't expose much other than a little bit of the top of the pipe. Not sure what downpipe he is using, but there isn't a huge difference in the path they can take with the Greddy setup. In short, you still get enough shielding of the downpipe even if you cut the FM shield to fit.

I've run many autocrosses with this setup and done back to back runs with codrivers and nothing has ever melted in my engine bay.

Ah OK I figured that was the case, but the way I read your comment at first left me quite confused.

I went to order that Gredy Heat Shield and the shipping costs scared me off. :vash:

:rofl:

Get the license plate going.

LOL :giggle:
