From what I've read from Corky, insulating the turbo housing leads to improved efficiency and lower under-hood temps. He uses turbine heat shields on all his kits. If I wasn't so cheap I'd rock one.

No problem. I will try and get exact dimensions. They may just be a hair loose on some of the really small turbos but you sould be able to wire them on pretty tight. Here is a close up shot of the one I had on my old setup. It was a T3 60 trim for those who don't remember.

How do you guys feel about ordering at the end of next week? I will just call Alamo ahead of time to give them a heads up. Then you guys can just call them and place the order and reference the "Kelly Deal"
