This blanket was one of our first turbo blanket designs. Â It was specifically designed to address an issue of spatial constraints in an engine bay. Â The blanket tightly wraps around the exhaust side of an internally wastegated T25 or T28 turbocharger and holds heat into the turbo to help spool the turbo earlier. Â Because the blanket is flat, it is a perfect option when there is limited space around the turbocharger where a bulkier enclosed blanket may not fit well.
Our Lava line of blankets are different from our other turbo blankets in that they feature an outer jacketing that is made from an extremely heavy duty and high quality pulverized lava rock fiber instead of silica impregnated fiber. Â This lava material is actually different than what any other turbo blanket manufacturer uses in that it features an aluminum bonded layer on the inside of the blanket to further reflect the small amount of radiant heat which makes it through the ceramic layer. Â With this combination of materials we have seen up to 90% efficiency out of a Lava blanket on certain applications.
Due to the durability and extremely high heat rating (3000°F) of the Lava material; this blanket is ideal for applications where there is top mount turbo manifold or heat sources which could come in contact with the outside of the blanket.
The entire blanket is extremely durable and very well built by hand here in the USA.
