Anyone run an internally gated FP green and have a turbo blanket wrapping the turbine housing? I have been looking around to try to find one that fits well or i can make fit. So far, all i see is this.
 
From the link you posted...

This Turbo Sock fits DSM 16G 18G 20G and FP 8cm turbine housings.

The cutout in the blanket is for the flapper post if you're running internally gated.

I see that. I had a PM out to the owner of that site on here. He hadn't responded, but just did. I am going to be trying one of them. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be anyone running one so i can't see installed pics for fitment or looks. Was also curios if there were any of the below style out there that work with internally gated turbos.

I'll answer the blanket design question. You won't find that style of blanket for internally gated housings. The reason being, you have a wastegate pivot and rod coming off the housing. If you wanted that style you would have to remove the e-clip and actuator rod off the pivot, install the blanket, then re-install rod and clip. A considerable task for a blanket install. If you want a side flap version, I can build it, but be aware of the install issue.
