What did you do to your Supra today?

Its actually less warpy if a heated metal is insulated and cooled slowly. It's rapid heating and cooling that warps and crack metal.

insulating is used in a lot of industrial welding to keep it from cooling too fast and developing issues.

I'm sure there is someone on here that's a metallurgist that can science it for us

That would be fair. It's too expensive to test, but we've had a couple cars with turbo failure with blankets and no failure without, everything else being exactly the same.
Could have just been coincidence.

I think I would call that heat movement! Look at how much hotter the DP and everything around it is now.

which turbo? Just out of curiosity. I'm not much on brand loyalty but if it's a trend then it can be identified and corrected in their process

Ive never ran an aftermarket turbo without a blanket. I doubt it was the blanket.

Garrett. I'd have to check the records to see which model. I can't remember off the top of my head.

Could have been coincidence. Just to be safe, we haven't run blankets since.

IATs have to be insane. what are you doing for heat management?

IATs? Why? They were fine. The car used an air to water IC.

Thought you were talking about this platform.

No, sir. Turbos in general.

The wife giving her a bath. When is a matte color suppose to look dirty? The car looked fine to me?!? Damn I love her (referring to the wife ofc ?)

Swapped out my Supra script for solid black. Didn't dig the chrome edge on the stock badge. Also, it supposedly adds +15hp.

Where did you get the blacked out Supra badge from?

Full front PPF and ceramic coating .

Finally installed my Aza Auto Wheel steering wheel.. Makes a HUGE difference, I hated how skinny the stock wheel was.

Today an old lady in a very old car took a photo of my car.
