 Today's Cobb product highlight will get you all warmed up to our collection of Cobb Turbo Blankets. Heat management is important for proper performance on any engine, but it becomes especially vital on turbocharged cars. And when you're shopping for things to modify for that specific purpose, the area around the turbo itself is a great place to start because with one simple modification, you can get double the benefits plus some bonus perks. From the factory, all turbo cars come with some kind of shielding around the hot side of the turbo to try to keep heat in, but due to the combination of costs, servicing, and mass production, there's a lot of room for improvement. So the main benefits of ditching that stock heat shielding and slapping on a nice Cobb Turbo Blanket are the combination of snug fitment and superior materials. The outer layer consists of fragmentized fire retardant volcanic rock rated at 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit direct heat and 1,800 degrees radiant heat. The inside is insulated with high-temperature calcium magnesium silicate wool rated at 1,800 degrees direct heat and a peak heat of 2,300 degrees aka really friggin odd. And to make the best use of those fancy materials, each blanket we carry is specifically designed to perfectly fit on its intended turbo because the other downside of the stock heat shielding is that it usually leaves gaps for heat to escape. Our turbo blankets avoid that because they're crafted to slip right on like a custom tailored jacket and make use of a combination of wire and tension springs to keep everything in place once installed. So the ability to tightly wrap up the turbo ensures that the most amount of heat stays trapped inside where it's doing good while simultaneously preventing it from causing harm elsewhere. Which leads to some of the additional advantages, the most basic being that they look cool. It's always nice when a functional upgrade brings some style with it in the combo of the woven volcanic rock outer layer along with the black Cobb logo plate perfectly fitting around the turbo is definitely a lot nicer to look at under the hood than that ugly stamped aluminum stock shielding. But the most significant bonus of swapping to a turbo blanket beyond the improved efficiency of the turbo itself is that it also improves the longevity and performance of nearly every other part under the hood. Modern cars are completely full of plastic and rubber parts that become brittle and stiff over time due to high temps and many other parts like the intercooler or radiator or the engine itself are fighting a constant battle to keep high temperatures in check. So they can all last longer and do their job better when they're less exposed to a literal glowing orange ball of blazing hot metal. We carry a nice selection of turbo blankets for various platforms on our website right now. And if all the things I just told you aren't justification enough to go ahead and get one, you should just buy one so you can tell all your buddies that you installed a piece of a volcano in your car.
