GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
CAUTION:
Please take caution when installing your turbo blanket as occasionally the
stainless-steel mesh used to sew the edges of the blanket may have protruded the outer
edges of the blankets, creating a sharp surface. Mechanics gloves and safety glasses are
highly recommended. Always practice safe methods when working on your vehicle.
1.
Before installing your turbo blanket, please ensure that your hands or gloves are
completely clean and free of chemicals, oils, or other contaminants. Certain
chemicals can stain the turbo blanket, causing premature deterioration of the
insulation materials. Allow your engine and turbocharger an adequate amount of
time to completely cool down before touching or installing your turbo blanket on
your turbo.
2.
Locate your stock turbo position on the passenger side of your WRX/STI. The
turbo is located beneath the OEM heat shield shown below in the picture.
Removing the top mount intercooler is not necessary for the installation of your
turbo blanket, however it can make the process easier. *Removal of the top
mount intercooler will not be covered in this step-by-step installation guide.
