Better off with standard heatsheild until you upgrade to a bigger turbo.

Yes, the blanket fit's snugger than the heat shield so it will do a much better job

Got both fitted to mine. Modified standard heat shield to fit over blanket. Blankets do work, worth the effort.

Turbo blanket`s work really well,fitted one to mine and after taking the car out and giving it death i could place my hand on the blanket and keep it there no problem,try that with the heatsheild fitted and your hand will end up looking like niki lauda`s face.
