Going fine not a single issue related to the Beanie,
I have noticed a big difference in the temp of my Aux battery
Much, much cooler than before, so very happy.
Ive also wrapped a few pipe/hoses in gold foil
to further keep the temps as low as I can get them
04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there

Heres an update or road report on those Turbo beanies, been 3 yrs now and not one issue.
its all about thermal dynamics keep the heat where it should be and thats inside the turbo
and dump pipe. I run a Trojan wet cell 115 ah AUX battery right next to the turbo and happy
to report no loss of liquid from the Aux battery at all so Im giving this one two thumbs up
Very pleased for a small outlet one of the better mods Ive done .

Hey threedogs, do you know if the one mentioned earlier and still available here
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400770282...649&rmvSB=true
will suit a GU Y61 3lilre? There is a quite large cowling around the turbo that would appear to prevent or at least hinder fitting.
I have a second battery in the usual spot and looking for ways to stop it getting so hot.

Hey threedogs - I tried a T3 sized beanie but it's too big (wastegate actuator gets on the way). Any hints on what size to buy? GU with a stock turbo.
