Any suggestions for the wrap materials or kits for the coolant line and turbo blanket?

I also haven't seen a turbo blanket for the N55 yet. But probably no big deal to have one made for the N55?

If you can find anything with a larger inner diameter to fit the coant hose that would work best.

I'm not sure if 260°C (500°F) is enough.
AFAIK my shop uses this (I'm not sure if it's exactly this one):

This one is flexible and withstands 980°C (1800°F) long term.
I think the 25.4mm variant should fit.
The coolant line has a diameter of 32 mm. The compressed areas have a max width of 42 mm.

If it's the return line I don't think it's worth it.
If it's the feed line I think it may absolutely be worth it. And I just had it off when I did my turbo lol

Its the main feed line from the pump to the block. But I think when the cooling system reaches its limit it doesn't really matter where the heat is applied...
