Do you think it will fit out T-60?

Yes. We don't have a T-60 but we do have a 60-1 compressor and a Stage V turbine with a .77 A/R KK housing tangential. That all being said get the silver one...The cheaper one looks too cheap...get the one luci got...

Thanks for the pics. How hard was it to put in? I assume the MAF and higher piping needs to come off or can you sneak it through...

I had to disconnect it from the throttle body, and the bolt that holds the BOV pipe on the front of the engine. For some reason, I wasn't able to pull the BOV pipe off. It was stuck inside the rubber hose after undoing the clamp.. But I was able to slide the pipe up the rubber hose 2 inches to give me clearance for the blanket. Simple install, 30 minutes if you have the right tools.

Edit: On another note, after this install, the BOV pipe will be resting on the blanket! I don't anything bad can happen from this. Just letting you know.
