I tried calling Mopac and JB’s tonight both closed… Anyone know if either of those places have some heat reflective material (arounds 2’ by 1’ chunk would be plenty) I can use for my hood and/or a turbo blanket? I’m thinking both would probably have em… My question is how much they would cost locally? Or should I order em online?
I’ve meant to call and ask too. I never got around to it though… What I ended up doing was making a shield out of brass, and I rivited that heat wrap material too the inside of it. Seems to work ok.
My dads company makes thermal blanketing for big diesel turbo on cat’s. His engineer would have no problem designing one for your turbo… Whats your price range?

DEI’s site seems to be down right now but both companies make pretty much the same products. Let me know what you’re looking for, i work for the company that owns JB’s, i’ll see what i can do for you.
I’m just looking for something that’ll cover just above the turbo on my hood so I don’t melt the paint or warp the hood cuz it gets damn hot just above the exhaust housing… Had to remove my hood liner cuz it was starting to burn up. Just need a 2’ x 1’ chunk of something like http://www.thermotec.com/products/full/13500/13500.html.
I just want something to cover my turbo exhaust housing to keep the underhood temperatures down. I’m not too sure about the turbo blanket though… Just wanna see how much one will run me. The problem is I dunno if I trust holding all that heat inside there… Will it damage anything…
I like this setup.
Don’t think my setup is so complicated that it needs custom heat shielding (also I am too poor for anything other than generic :p)… Mine’s the exact same as the one posted above… I have the header wrap. Just need to get my hood covered asap before I warp/melt anything.
Mopac has em, back wall between the last 2 cases on the left, 100 bucks or so for cut to fit wrap.
mopax has crappy stuff, i am defenately going to use the fiber to wrap then extra shield on the top of that.
more heat = less spool time and better exhaust flow 
Measure the diameter of your exhaust housing, go to Walmart, buy a nice shiny stainless steel pot, cut to fit, bolt to exhaust housing, and you’re set.
Sort of like this.
^^^ Good idea, I had thought about doing that before, even saw a thread where some guy used a stainless steel pot which turned out great. But I totaly forgot about it.
Looks like I’m going to walmart.

“The Turbo Kit was designed to protect, improve performance, and ELIMINATE turbo lag of a turbo charger.”
everyoen should jump on this … no lag for turbos anymore
What about a few of those soldering heat shield cloths? Add a pair of scissors, a sewing machine, and voila?
