I run a manifold and turbo blanket on my Talon during the Summer and hot Fall and Spring days. I pull heat off the lower side of my Exhaust manifold to increase the IAT'S up to 250*F. for FE.

One thing I did notice is that it does lower the life of the turbine housing. After three years the turbine housing developed cracks.
