www.demon-tweeks.co.uk sells them for about £100. dont know of how effective they are but if used with exhaust wrap it should make a big difference to under bonnet temps. which is good .

What sort of cost difference is there between a jacket and getting the exhaust housing ceramic coated? Would ceramic coating work more effectively and reliably?
If the turbo is getting so hot that it seizes, it would imply that you are relying on radiation to keep the turbo cool, which would imply you need a better cooling system for the turbo - perhaps a post-turbo rad to keep temps down and/or a dedicated electric pump circuit for the turbo?

Not saying it's something wrong with the turbo - just that it's only stopping radiation of heat that was already generated.....what if something else got in the way?
I guess another way of looking at it is that the passing of air and the principal of radiation can be relied on more heavily than any additional cooling equipment could be!
Any idea what your EGTs were at the point things went pear shaped?

The jacket will keep heat in the housing and the core, preventing it getting into the engine bay, but it'll cook the core. Ceramic coating the exhaust housing will help keep the core cooler (it won't help the exhaust turbine though) and the engine bay as well.

Well i dont think i will be getting one!
My main consern was with my new manifold, it brings the turbo over the gearbox and the turbo sits very close to the brake servo.
I did'nt want the turbo heating up the brake fluid, possibly giving me very bad brake fade!
