TT Paul Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 No leaks or oil etc in area. It's a new turbo blanket is it normal for this to smoke a bit. Only just fitted it to. Searched Google seems some do when their new just seeing other people's views? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Mine did that thought something was on fire It will stop Although it can look worse if its a combination of the blanket and oily hand prints on the turbo/manifold if youve been doing work in that area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gpro Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Yes it's perfectly normal. Drive the car on the motorway and do a few WOT pulls to hit high temperatures. It should bed in and stop smoking after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackyBoi Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Same happened to me when I first fitted DEI heat wrap but the smoke disappeared after a couple of heat cycles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraLEDrears Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Mine was a bit too big and touched the manifold so check for that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Ditto. Needs to run a few full heat cycles first mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
