has anyone used of this...
http://www.owendevelopments.co.uk/pr....asp?prodId=22
my turbo sits close to the bodywork and looking to insulate it
i will be running quite aggressive als, launch control (anything else that causes excessive heat lol)
was also thinking about getting the hot side of turbo and exhaust ceramic coated
but the above is a cheaper option

how does that work? - the company selling these itself does not make that claim, you think they would mention this desirable quality of the product if this is correct.

1. By retaining heat within the turbine, the hot and expanding gasses will have the effect of increasing thermal efficiency of the turbine design.
this first in the list on their site

So the first question is the improvement in thermal efficiency noticeable? - can you feel it or measure it as a BHP increase, if so what kind of numbers are we talking here.
Why are tuners not using it more widely ?
What's the down sides of the product ?

My personal feeling on this kind of thing is that retaining the heat inside the turbo and exhaust components will cause a build up of heat inside the head which could end in valve failure, especially since CVH's run such huge valves.

I have one, mine was from AET Turbos though, as the Owens ones are way too small for my Turbo.
Know plenty of people who run em, nobody has had problems yet, and work well, but others have had problems.
Swings and roundabouts, same as most stuff.
