Forge Motorsport Turbo Blanket (EA888 Gen3)

A superbly well made product from forge , only I found it extremely difficult to fit around the is20 turbo the gaps being so tight between the head and the turbo casting made it virtually impossible to got the clipped saddle part through and underneath and out again and also the springs . In my opinion and you can make up your own mind , the separate clip peice and springs are unnecessary , so for those of you who will struggle to fit it as the instructions don't worry , the gaps on the 7.5 GTi are too tight and O2 sensor is in the way yes , by still buy the blanket and go ahead and fit it without the separate harness and without the springs too , I have done this just take off the right half of the heat shield over the turbo , stubby 5mm Allen socket and 10mm socket required etc , don't drop the screws , tuck down the blanket through the tight gaps , mould it neatly around the turbo no creases smooth it down bulk head side and replace the heat shield over the turbo again , this holds it all nicely in place . After a few heat cycles the turbo blanket hardens and cures and retains the shape of the turbo , no wind or movement under there and mine hasn't moved a millimetre in weeks now tight and fitted . Also this way there is no worries of the saddle or spring affecting the movement of the turbo actuator underneath the turbo . Fitment may be different on the Mk7 but the 7.5 , this way I found was the best solution and so easy . So I say buy one and fit it like I have and enjoy the benefits of this turbo blanket easily with great results . The turbo spool speed I have now is twice as fast and instant , awesome results
