Ark Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I recall some rumours of it acting as a fire blanket in the event of a fire... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwilkinson Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 When I got my car it did not have the bonnet fire blanket installed. I found the car quite noisy and ended up buying one of Jamsey. I now love the quiet it brings. I can hear my exhaust and not the turbo spool all the time. The bov is now muffled but audible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 With a big single, doesnt the heat damage the paint with the insulation removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Its probably best to keep it to be honest, I'm sure Toyota put it there for a reason, its probably for decreasing engine noise or stopping the heat get to the paint. Mine looks pretty tatty as well, but until it falls off i wont replace it, and its not as if its on show all of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jevansio Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 had mine removed for ages, no damage to paint, no shielding on turbo, it just makes the bonnet steam when it rains, which is quite cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
