Congratulations and thank you for purchasing one of the finest Thermal Zero turbo blankets made in America!!! Installation of the blanket is pretty straightforward and should not take long, depending on your application.

***DO NOT INSTALL A TURBO BLANKET ON A TURBO OR ENGINE THAT IS LEAKING OR BURNING OIL! ***

Although all Thermal Zero blankets are made from completely non-flammable materials, an oil soaked blanket can become a fire hazard and will void any implied warranty.

What you will need:

• 1 pair of latex gloves (your hands may itch otherwise…)
• Either a good pair of heavy duty scissors or some wire snips to cut the mechanics securing wire supplied with the kit

To Install

Our premium turbo shields are extremely easy to install on the turbo itself although in some cases you may have to remove things in order to gain clear access to the turbo’s exhaust side.

If the kit you purchased came with exhaust wrap you will want to wrap it first since in most cases you will have to remove the down pipe to wrap it. When you go to install the turbo shield you will want the down pipe to be installed because sometimes it is very hard to install the down pipe with the turbo shield secured into place. If you are unfamiliar on how to install exhaust wrap please see the “How to install wrap” article in the TECH section.

Take the mechanics wire that was supplied to you with your turbo shield kit. Cut two 10″ lengths of wire from the spool supplied.

Take each piece of mechanics wire and create a loop in the wire to secure around the rear hook of the blanket.

Next, install the blanket around the exhaust side of the turbocharger and snug it down by hooking your twisted mechanics wire around the opposite hook on the turbo shield.

Now, doesn’t that look nice?

 

Cleaning and Maintaining

• Use a damp rag with de-greasing dish detergent to clean grease or oil from your blanket.
• Keep your blanket away from oil and fuel leaks!
• Do not use brake cleaner or any flammable liquid on or around the blanket as the blanket can act as a sponge for some of these liquids and could start a fire!

ALL THERMAL ZERO BLANKETS ARE ASBESTOS FREE AND MADE WITH COMPLETELY NON-FLAMMABLE MATERIALS.
