Probably more than you're looking to spend, but these work awesome and the install is very easy. Those DEI kits require you to build your own deal, they just give you the materials.

They are universal fit, you put safety wire around the tabs to hold them on, but they hold themselves on really well even w/o safety wire. They fit from T3 housings to the big T4 housings like the 42R. I run one on my car with the 42r.

the blankets are hands down the best way to go.

I have one as well t4 unit on .96ar t70 works excellent.

They now even have them for the larger t6 turbine housings.

I seen something like that on Jeremy's car from REDZONE.

Anyone else buy from this website? Any other jackets like this that might be cheaper that you don't have to build.

I liked it so much I called Amy, owners wife to have them ship me a cover over. She had a black and silver in stock still.

I will take pictures this weekend and let you know how it looks.

The reduction in temps are outstanding. Make a good pass you can even touch the cover and wont get burnt (althought i dont reccomend that)

Nothing too significant in spool really, the main benefit is keeping under hood temps down, and they do a great job at that!
