Hi all,
In an attempt to reduce heat transfer from the turbo to the oil and cooling system, especially when in traffic, I’m looking at doing a full wrap job on the exhaust.
I have a Thermo Tec kit that does the headers, dump pipe and blanket for the turbine section.
What I’m worried about is this:
The Garrett T28 ball bearing turbo has fittings for water cooling. Most people don’t seem to use the option and it doesn’t appear to cause any probs. I assume having a lot of air movement around the turbo helps a lot.
If I wrap the system from top to bottom, will I trap enough heat to cook off the oil or damage the bearings?
There seems to be a lot of turbo experience out there and any suggestions would be welcome.
Cheers
Ross
