wow, can't find it ANYWHERE in that whole site.

first off its a real shitty design. Second, I click on extras and I don't see anything about the turbo blankets, just flanges and piping.

point us the way!

Just call the number under contacts, ask for Kean. They are around $100, and if you want to see a picture, just go to customers cars, and its the one Cody Whitehead has on his supra.

thermal wrap, gotta make it yourself to fit the size of exhaust housing, they give a very good amount of material to work with.

I'd get it from Gotham. Why not give back to a shop that supports the RX7 and the RX7 community? I purchased mine there and the service was excellent.

I got mine from Gotham too. It fits well and does what it's made to very effectively. Well worth the money IMHO.

I have a question for you other guys that run them. Has anyone had any problems due to overheating so far? I haven't had any that I can notice but then I haven't turn the turbo apart either. I ask because a little while back I toom some heat for recommending one to someone. Everyone came out of the woodwork quoting "people like Rice Racing, etc.. have said that they destroy turbines.." Anyone melt a turbine or crack a housing lately?

I use mine on a daily-driven car in hot, sticky Southwest Florida. I've had it on there for about 6 months with no issues.
