Default Turbo blankets. Yay? Nay?

Hey guys wondering if anyone has used a turbo blanket before and if so, what your experiences were.

Tenagah loook to be selling ones from Sonic Performance: http://www.sonicperformance.com.au and there are also these ones: http://horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category60_1.htm

For a set-up like mine (big TMIC), it looks to be a good way of avoiding heat soak, as well as helping the turbo spool quicker due to retained heat.

The downside seems to be a bit of premature ageing of the turbo, given that it's running hotter for longer periods.

For $200-$250 it seems like it might be worthwhile, but thought I'd ask around here first to see if anyone can comment directly on it.

As always, thanks!

Nik
