Also, it is a magnet for any oil or other liquids (don't ask how I know).  I tried to use it to protect my cowl from my headers and finally decided that, oil soaked, it presented more of a fire hazard than anything else.  I ripped it out and used some heavy gauge aluminum foil which I layed over some thinned RTV that I painted on the cowl and its still going strong. 
 
Rats.  I was hoping it wasn't as absorbent as the header wrap stuff. 
 
I'd still like to find something that I can wrap the turbo with.  Leon mentioned "turbo bags", but I can't find anything like that in the searches I've done tonight.  Has anyone seen those anywhere?
