How cool does my single tubby look!

I don\'t know about you but i like the pettit Kit becouse it does the lot......

 -A custom Thermal Barrier Cover for the turbo hot section.
-A stainless shield between the lower intake and the exhaust manifold layered with thermal barrier panel.
-Special .125" Thermal wrap for down pipe and enough extra material to wrap front section of mid pipe.
-Extra Thermal Barrier Panel material is pre cut for several key areas behind the factory passenger foot well shield.


I know the Down pipe rap can be £100 on its own, I don\'t think you could put the Kit together for £220 but as usal its proberly the Import Tax etc that kills it.

Why is\'nt there a Proper kit like this here??? Its a bit daft putting a heat blanket on the Turbine Housing if there\'s a Red hot Down pipe sticking out of it??

Find a workshop that does stainless and ask them to knock up a sheet.

Thats not a bad price, How far does 50" go? would that do the Down pipe and Mid pipe?

I think they also use the Expencive thicker rap. Is\'nt the Tweeks stuff quite thin??

[Fish]

Why would you want to do the mid-pipe?

Not sure about the thickness of it, but it wont be that much thinner than other makes. Another place to try for wrap is Rally, Marine Design in Faversham (dont have number to hand), they supply lots of stuff.

I belive you do half the Mid pipe becouse it heats you the floor making it mighty warm in summer, As you can proberly tell i heard it from the US. they like to keep the cabin temp down so not heating the bulkhead or Drivers floor.

I spoke to a Guy from Ears on Saturday that told me a few things, Don\'t rap a Mild steel down pipe as it will attract Moisture when its off (it\'ll rust), most big down pipes will take two lots of Rap to do properly and buy the wide one (i think its 2"??) the 1" goes no where fast.

Is\'nt it 1"x50" or Feet?? the last time i bought some from there it was Inches??

[Fish]

OK, not sure I trust the US about half their stuff.

I understand about the mild steel bit though.

Looking on the Demon site again the 2" (inch) * 50\' (foot) is £68.54 inc. VAT. Clicky

The US are good as long as you speak to the tuners not the Forum, Lot of Bull goes on there.

You can get cheap fibreglass heat wrap from LMA

The 2" x 5m roll did my downpipe from the join on the back of the turbo down to where it straigtens out to meet the midpipe.
Just make sure there is no corrosion on the downpipe and give it a few good coats of VHT paint before wrapping it.
