Message	really worried me. i had a SLIGHT exhaust leak at one of the greddy downpipes (those things are ghetto) ...and the carbon buildup under the blanket was just nutty. i didnt take a picture, but all of the crap around the turbo, oil line, etc ...really worried me. plus they dont make blankets for the turdbowls that fit well....atleast none that i have found. any suggestion?
