I was under the impression that the turbo blankets are not recomended on turbos with internal wastegates. More of a safty thing

more of a warranty issure since if you were to put a turbo blanket on you run risk of impeding the actuator arm and possibly damaging the turbo and/or the engine

I bought a blanket of aluminized heat barrier and I cut a section out and wrapped it around the hotside of the turbo. Seems to work quite well.
