The concept with wrapping the up/down pipes is the same as the blanket. Wrapping the up pipe maintains the volume of the hot exhaust and prevents cooling and decreasing volume before going through the turbo. Also by doing this it prevents excess heat from entering the engine bay. By wrapping the down pipe, you help to maintain exhaust velocity as it exits the the turbo and goes out the tail pipe. Again by wrapping and maintaining exhaust velocity you are minimizing the effects of heat soak in the engine bay by pushing it out the tail pipe.

Which turbo blanket and wrap did you go with? The titanium (lava) looks great, but is it worth the $$$$? I want the best product to hold heat in. LB, thanks for your help. Boucher'

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
I went with DEI's titanium turbo shield, and DEI's titanium wrap. I was very impressed with the turbo shield when after multiple passes down the track I could put my hand directly on the heat shield and did not get burnt and this was on a diesel truck pushing flames out the stacks. So I would say yes it is worth the money. I got mine for $110 from a guy who was clearing out his stock... you should be able to pick one up new for around $160 from a dealer. I bought my wrap from a dealer on ebay who is a couple hours from me here is iowa he had the best price on the titanium wrap that i found. I have been impressed with DEI's products and their customer service as far as standing behind their products, Customer service and product quality are their top priorities.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
Thanks, good info to know. Those VID about turbo blankets are almost hard to believe.
I found a company PTP turbo shield, that is spoken very highly also. Boucher'

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
Oh yeah forgot to add when you install it be prepared for the wrap to smoke the first couple times you run it! yes it will give you a little scare but this is normal!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
The PTP lava blankets look to be nearly the same as the DEI ones... at a much cheaper price. I would be tempted to give it a try.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
HaHa, I installed some wrap on my Chevy II. When I first fired it up, I about schart my pants. No one told me about that!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
I got to shake out JED today with the new goods. A new Offy intake, machined flat intake/exhaust manifolds, new carb base plate, gaskets, turbo blanket, and up/down pipe wrapped.
Much more power, response, smooth transitions. I ran it for around 20min, popped the hood, and could literally put my hand directly on the turbo blanket. I was very impressed.

A quick update on exhaust and a sweet swap find! Tuck and Dump: total appreciation to all who have this "look". The routing is much harder than it looks. The results are a bit quieter exhaust not and no drone. Pleased The $5 swap meet find. I was as happier than a puppy with two peckers!

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
Exhaust looks good! That's how I always have ran the tail pipe on my trucks.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
Just put tail pipes on a 65 swb, it took the drone out.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
Nice picture!
One question, how do you control ignition? Do you retard timing under boost? Sorry if this information is in the thread somewhere. I looked through all the pages and didn't see anything. Your pictures are gone from the inliners forum also so I couldn't see what you did there, either. Thanks, Chad Edit: Okay, I just read through a little more slowly. Your running HEI with mechanical advance... did you ever hook up the vacuum advance? If so, did you lock out the advance at a certain point? Thanks again, Chad

With my setup, I have it running on the rich side and have never had any detonation yet. I have the wastegate set at 10 psi. If I were to run more boost, I would most likely get a BTM box to remove timing, but where I am running it, there is no need. For my setup, it is right at its sweet spot. I hope this makes sense.

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
"BLOW ME OFF!!"
well sort of, that was the engine talking. After much contemplation on whether to pony up and purchase a genuine Tial, Turbosmart, Greddy, Forge blow off valve, I decided to take the value route and hope for the best. I decided on a pull-type blow off valve from ebay. Sold by ebay seller "Wyntonm". It is a 44mm BOV that comes with a band clamp and nice polished stainless tube. It was delivered to my door (Nashville,TN from Washington) in about 3 days and set me back $65. All of the pieces seemed very well constructed of billet aluminum. The first thing I did was take it apart to inspect the diaphragm and valve movement. The diaphragm was a piece of silicone rubber that allowed the valve to "blow-off" about 3/4" of movement. The complete construction of the piece was very solid, the first thing that I noticed was its density. It felt like I was picking up a cannon ball. I took a few vacuum measurements of my truck at idle, part-throttle and throttle rebound. They were 15 in hg, 8 in hg, and 20-25 in hg. I first hooked the BOV up with no adjustments. At idle it had a slight clatter of the valve. This was caused by the BOV opening at exactly 14-16 in hg. So I needed to increase the spring pressure on the valve. I put one washer under the spring and it increased it just enough to keep the valve closed at idle. After a few WOT runs, the BOV seems to be working flawlessly. The sound emitted is barely noticeable and sound like a large blast of air. Very powerful, instant and no shudder. The only issue that I see, is that the BOV is not easily adjustable. If someone needed a wide range of adjustment, you might want to look for another one. Video Clip: http://youtu.be/Ou7F8NOLxqs Boucher'

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
Looks good! Thanks for the detailed review. Did you buy the tee to install the BOV on Ebay as well?

Re: Inline 250 - T3 Turbo - w/ Video
No, it was a package deal. BOV, stainless T-pipe, and V-band clamp. Good deal, if you ask me.
