Helpful suggestion on how to keep things under wraps
Customers frequently call looking for a new turbo blanket or heat shield. These devices keep the heat in the turbo for faster exhaust gas velocity or heat in the exhaust system for the operation of a diesel exhaust scrubber/purifier. Unfortunately, due to asbestos legislation, Perkins no longer offers these. As a result, we have referred people to performance magazines like Car Craft to check the ads for “header wrap” to make a substitute. This involves wrapping a 2″ wide tape around the turbo, or tailpipe, and holding it in place with steel ties. While not as neat as the real thing, this works well enough.
