What do you guys think of the Way Turbo wrap, and the Titanium heat shield on that site? seems odd to me that you would wrap a hot as crap turbo to keep IN the heat! But as I understand it the heat should be kept in for effectiveness (on some level) and to keep some heat from the rest of the engine.


I like the shield because it gives a nice look in there and it is reported to help protect the paint/scoop from some heat. I'd paint it black however to match.


What say you? Don't be afraid to give it to me straight! Not that you would....be afraid that is.

M7 is another company that does heat shields, and theirs is black. I have one on my car, and had one on the old car. I didn't do the heat wrap on either car, I just kept the stock heat shields in place.

Have fun,
Mike
