I bought a set for my Greddy TT just recently. Have yet to install them but here is a pic or 2.




I bought them from a turbo??? web forum. I'll post the thread when I get a chance.
They cost about $100 each, but the quality is spot on.

I have some on my greddy kit. They were not hard at all to wrap, but there is a lot of excess material since the blankets were meant for a t4. Just use some wire to hold them to the turbo.

Here is the site I purchased them from:
http://www.clubna-t.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4212

Yeah, I know...another forum...Just shut up and join. I purchased them and they were custom made for my Greddy TT kit. But now that the guy has already made a set, he informed me that he retained the dimensions and made a model, so to repeat the order for other Greddy kits is not a problem.

I have one on my PL kit...it is not pretty like those, but it gets the job done. You can pop the hood after running and that whole area and intake pipe is cool (AIT's are no problem for me!). I suggest them! Mine was $42.50

No they were to big, but I used some wire to wrap them tight. Just had some extra resting on the manifold.

rrmedicx, I joined the forum, but I still don't have access to that thread. Do you have any other contact information for the guy you bought your turbo blankets from?

Yeah sure...contact Tim @ v120m@yahoo.com
He's really good to deal with. Just tell him I (Randy) sent you.
I think I paid something like $110 or $120 each.
Good Luck.


P.S. Now that you joined, try clicking the link above again, it should work. I just tested it.

Great. Thank you!

The link still isn't working. Account activation may be slow. I'm sending Tim an e-mail.
