if you 're running an hx40 top mount, it will fit just fine, because the black one covers my hx52 ok..

Unfortunately, I can barely fit a credit card in there. It's the gap between the valve cover and ex housing that's the problem. Before anybody comments, I've had this sucker glowing orange enough to read off of at night, have the exact same car paint on the valve covers that's on the fenders, and that paint still looks like the day it was sprayed. Can the make one special with no padding in one spot?

you might be able to rotate the turbo blanket to cover the top side, but that is definitely very tight.

what turbine A/R size is your gt40... ?

i'll put you down for the silver one. i recommend the black one, since the black one is slightly larger.

What are you trying to say

Would it be practical to buy a smaller one that wouldn't cover the whole ex housing to fix my situation? Probaly look half assed, huh? Maybe take a pic of a smaller one on the HX52 just to see please?

that's the whole point of the turbo blanket, it absorbs the heat so the components around the turbo won't be heated LOL . you can literally rest your hand on the turbo blanket after a long run, just to tell you how the heat are kept under it.

I found it last night in the mail box (community mail box stand). I hadn't checked the mail all weekend and realized from the tracking # that it wasn't UPS or FedEx.

Slapped it on there real quick to test the fitment and it sits on there nice and snug!
