I'm interested but your sign up thing is screwing me up. It says that my email is already in use and my password is wrong. Anyway, can you post/PM prices once you have them. I would very much like to purchase one of these at a discounted rate.

jagstyle,

Did you contact him regarding a refund or exchange? Please let us know if you were able to resolve this. We have a group of guys that are interested, but we need to do our due diligence before placing the order.

Thanks.

Vince.

i emailed him on my own cause there was some fitment issues with my blanket for my DOM 3.0 the car is at the shop right now so I cant post pics but anyway I emailed him and he was pretty cool about sending me a new one if need be. I made it work, but he seemed ok about it, it just takes him like a day or two to answer..

Hi jagstyle, the top grey fabric can not be in direct contact to hot parts. only the bottom fabric is 1100dg rated. the top grey fabric is aprox 300deg rated and is designed for resistance against oil. do you have pic of blanket installed?

I can send you another blanket no problems, but you need to be sure when installed that the grey fabric does not touch the hot housing or exhaust flange. please send pic of blanket fitted so i can judge if size is corect.

Whats your turbo and postal address details?

Regards
Oliver


not sure how I feel about the low heat resistance of the outer material but glad that he is willing to work with me to fix my problem.
