K03 hotside/Turbo blanket

Anyone know the circumference of the outside of our turbos? I'm trying to see if a turbo blanket fits before ordering. Hoping somebody has a snail off of their car for accurate measurements 😧
I'm aware of WMW and Alta's blankets. Thermal zero's universal kits caught my attention since its made out of lava rocks.
I was considering getting ECS tuning's blanket but the heat range isn't very high :( looks good though.

You could consider ceramic coating to keep the heat inside, like these guys do http://www.zircotec.com

Unfortunately you'd have to remove the turbo from the car at which point you could then take measurements. lol (that was a joke).

It's about 11-1/2" around largest part, i emailed ptp (also lava rock) about their borg warner turbo blanket but never got a response back. got a quote from zircotec for turbo housing 188£, manifold 327£, downpipe 150£, and about 80£ to ship it all back to me

not sure if getting rid of the heat shields is worth that much to me
