Wouldn't a "turbo beanie" just cause your turbo and intake temps to heat up more? Wouldnt wanna stick one of those on a ceramic lol...
I live my life 1000RPM at a time. Nothing else matters, not the blown piston rings, the wasted distributor, the popping oil cap and all that other stuff. For those 8000RPM or more, im free.

It will keep the heat in the exhaust turbine, where you want it. Higher EGT's = quicker spool :idea:

Also help keep your engine bay temp's down as the "hot side" of the turbo is radiating less heat.
