Regarding my need for turbo insulation, a quick look through my Spruce catalog came up with this cool stuff, and now that I see it, I believe Tommy told me about this before. Supposedly, it's good for 2300 degrees continuous, and comes in 1/16" and 1/8" thicknesses. I'd have to say the 1/8" thickness of this stuff is the leading candidate for turbo wrap. There's also an aluminized heat shield material that is made my Thermo-tec, but since their exhaust wrap clearly doesn't stand up to 2000 degrees like they claim, I don't think I can believe any other Thermo-tec advertising.

Any experience with this Fiberfrax stuff?

Thanks,

Rusty

13 minutes left on the Renesis engine auction. It's at $5000 now, and I'm guessing it will go at $6200.
