Turbo Blankets

Needs one more syllable in the second sentence but point taken.

but don t al ways make sense = 7

Saw that in a meme 10 years ago and still makes me laugh

That's 6 by my count. If you would have said "do not" instead of don't it would be 7. Don't is 1 syllable.

accepted. and not original

So, a turbo blanket is an inexpensive mod that adds 200hp...?

The $100 is still waiting...

But its a multi-millon dollar vehicle so the engineering is on point. I’d say its valid point. Jersey needs to match more fighter jets... they go fast ?

Jersey needs some love. Maybe a blanket will help.

Turbos in APUs on fighter aircraft are wrapped in blankets. Jussaying.

Which jet are you referring to?

Can't disclose that, but I'm certain it's not a recently introduced practice.

I mean you should just go ahead and cut a check to the team at the University of Texas. Their test already posted in this thread shows that in a far more controlled setting than any of us can realistically hope to create that a turbo blanket leads to improved spool and lower temps. You can be pedantic and claim the exact test wasn't conducted on a EA888.3, but a turbo is a turbo and the same benefits apply.

Ok. I think you're mistaken about there being a turbocharger, APUs are turbine engines. Using insulating wrap on the engine makes sense, but using an aircraft APU as an example for why the blanket makes sense on a centrifugal turbo has some shortcomings.

"$100 to the person who proves that it improves spool up or lowers IATs on the GTI."

I didn't ask about the results that were obtained with a diesel engine on a test stand.

Read further down the page.

& I bet you'll still complain that the GTI is "not exactly like mine"....

the basics of turbo design & operation apply no matter if a big diesel or a small petrol engine....same for thermal dynamics...

you're just being a TROLL.....

Blankets are for pussies!
