but did use insulating wrap and a turbo blanket

Sven,
  What was the number and source for your turbo blanket? Mine is on an 8.3 but I wonder if they are much different. It looks just like the one we had on the M11s. Mine is labeled Holset HX40W. Thanks.

Michael have you had your mechanic apply pressure to the inner cooler?  I thought mine was ok until I applied pressure (10lb) and I started finding holes in it.  Atlas radiator is 8 weeks out, they have to order the core, which is 4 weeks out, then they build the ends and put it together, another 4 weeks.  I have aluminum epoxy coming and plan to try and patch it for one last trip.  If it won't hold 40 pounds then we will just be waiting for the new one and won't make Q, I was hoping to meet some of you guys but I guess there is always next year if things don't work out.
BTW if I remember correctly the new one will be 1685 + shipping

Chris, I repaired 4 holes in my CAC about 5 yrs ago with Devcon aluminum filler and tested it next day to 45 lbs with no loss over 12 hrs and the holes were around 1/4" dia . It is as good as new and with the Banks on my 350 I often see 33lbs boost. The engine runs great with tons of power. Clean Clean the area before using filler.

All you have to do is search "Cummins 8.3 turbo blanket" and you will get a lot of choices.  This one looks like mine:
