It varies so much I doubt you'd get any decent hard number.

Nvm, i just noticed you can do it with EFIlive on Laptop pluged into the Fleece device.

Yep! Really the best 'scanner' you can get. Can't think of anything that comes close.


Also I know Levi makes top notch blankets or socks. His site is here https://turbo-performance-products.myshopify.com/

Not sure if his fit the cruze, I can't imagine why they wouldn't.

Curious as to how a turbo blanket, which confines heat mostly to the turbo increases performance? Isnt the whole point to reduce turbo temperatures and not increase them with a heat shield or blanket. I would think that a heat sink or fan on the turbo would be more effective to " remove" heat. I know with my supercharged cars , I try to make the SC run as cool as possible.

A blanket may reduce overall underhood temps to the detriment of the actual turbo running hotter. I know when I run the car hard that I pop and prop the hood for an hour or so to let it all cool down , particularly in summer heat.

Gay Lussac's law. In a container with fixed volume and fixed mass, the pressure is directly proportional to the temperature.

An exhaust stream is nowhere near a consistent field of mass, but in general this law is always true. The pressure difference between the atmosphere and the exhaust manifold drives the turbo. Cooling the exhaust causes a decrease in pressure. Therefore, if you can keep the exhaust hot you will maintain higher pressures.

In reality its not a very big difference...

FYI I did end up installing this on a diesel cruze sometime last year.

It fitted just fine. The included wires are a bit short so you may want to include your own. It will take a lot of finagling to get the blanket on so be prepared for some tight squeezes. The heat shield does sort of fit over the top of it... But it will rub a little so be mindful of that. You'll have a lot of trouble fitting everything around the dpf, but it is possible.


The Cruze is pretty cold blooded even with aggressive tuning (at least the NA LUZ). So it's nice to keep what heat you do generate in the engine. I'm not going to say it's worth it or not worth it. It's really in between.
