I'll start a list of those interested. If you are interested and your own name to the list (cut/paste) and post. If you are on the list and you are really not interested, then take it off!

So....
It holds up to heat great. No cracking or discolouration. It works so well, I can touch it comfortably after a hard drive.

Buy, Buy, Buy!!

It is secured with metal zip ties.

I'll send a message to the vendor pointing him to this thread so he can register as a vendor and have a group buy if he chooses.

That looks nice. I would like to see a test on how it effects engine bay temps with and without it.

The guys who are on the group buy...if you have IWG, you'll need to modify this blanket.

However, Horsepower.com sells a blanket that can incorporate the IWG arm It looks like this:


I decided to go EWG after I ordered the blanket. But it would have worked nicely had I used IWG.

You don't 'need' to modify this blanket for IWG. The pictures I posted show it fitting over an IWG turbo with the blanket posing no obstruction for the IWG arm. It works fine with no modification.
