First off what are the benefits, if any, is there to a turbo blanket? I havent looked at all to see if there was a previous thread on turbo blankets but I was wanting to know if they're a good investment for $25 off amazon. Every kid in the country with a Honda Civic thats turbocharged has one so I didnt know if it actually helped or was just for looks. If it does help though, would it help performance to have one AND MoparMan's BHAF shield thingy he made out of a License plate or whatever its made out of? Anything helps as always. Thanks!!!

Man what did I miss... I love the quad now with v2 tuning and need Smarty to enable a few things and maybe reflash my spear ecm, then I'll be set. 

Sorry for the intrusion. 

Enable what? I'm sorry I'm sorta new to all the major tuning stuff. Only had my truck about a year and my dad hates performance stuff and stuff he doesn't understand so I haven't been exposed to much tuning. I'm pretty much self taught and only really have experience on a Smarty Jr.

Pretty sure he’s talkin about 3cyl high idle and what not.

My Superchip wouldnt allow my truck to go into high idle, but would supply the fuel to do so. I have a video of it smoking like crazy at 16*F this last December.

That's about the only thing I like about the Smarty is the ability to turn on the 3 cylinder high idle software. I wish they had it selectable so you could turn it off if you wanted.

Quad doesn't enable it?

No.  Quad has its own high idle software that doesn't play nice with the OEM high idle.

FYI oem high idle stays on the truck even if you unload the smarty

What does it do? To be honest it couldn't be worse than my Superchip where it shut it off but still upped the fueling for the high idle.

I was kinda under the impression it didnt have a high idle since all the programmers out there advertise a high idle. In the year I have had my truck and between the two motors that have been in it, I have only not had a programmer on it for MAYBE 4 days in November...... So I don't honestly know how my truck is supposed to act when its free of a chip..... 

In the Adrenaline, it will rev the truck to 1200 rpm after a set amount of time if a few conditions are met (temperature, power level = 0, etc)

Oh so it puts the whole truck into high idle instead of just 3 cylinders???

There's different 'types' of high idle. It can do either a 6cyl or 3cyl high idle depending on outside varibables. The smarty can enable those to be done by the OEM software, the quad will mimic it (from what I understand) and basically trick the truck into doing the same thing just a different way. 

But only 6 cyl high idle

Oh ok I gotcha guys. Is one better over the other for the truck?? I live in Kansas so I don't really see sub digit temperatures so, again, I didnt even know that thre WAS a 6 cyl high idle. I guess I'm learning everyday!

I've always viewed it as 3cyl was to get things warmed up cuz it's cold as ****. 6cyl will help warm things up, but not as quick, but I see it's main benefit if I had to sit for a while and didn't want the truck to idle at 800rpm the whole time, using a winch or jump starting someone, things like that.

Wait so let me get this straight, 3cyl high idle stays at 800rpm? I thought 3cyl was when it ramped up to 1200ish rpm??? Guess I'm getting schooled today.

No.  normal idle is 800.  Both 3 and 6 cyl high idle is at 1200ish

How do you tell the difference??

Between the high idles?  One sounds like the truck when you rev it, and the other sounds like a machine gun.
