100% otherwise it's proven it will be BDC'd after sustained use at high power. Retained heat in the housing = what you see above, even if EGT is within normal limits.

Mind you I have done countless 300+km/h runs, extended high load tests (durability testing), regardless though, retained heat in the turbine housing will kill it long term.

A heat shield with an air gap is mandatory.

Blankets and the like are for dickheads and drug race cars that cant do shit except last a few seconds or some poof box with chrome stickers and 20" wheels lol!! not real mans cars I did this test to prove once and for all that those turbo bags are only recommend by useless kuuuuunts who could not be bothered to make a proper heat shield
