hoodliner

does an 86/87 under hood liner insulation pad work on a hot air ?

yes but....

There is an extra layer of insulation above the turbo on the hotair pad. Keeps the turbo from burning the paint off the hood. You can make a large heat shield like others on the board, or pay 300-500 dollars for a new one.

Check with Mark at turbo regal custom parts, buickgn.com he used to make heat shields that filled up the whole recessed area on the stock hot air pad, and I know some people used those and took the 87 pads and cut away some of the insulation in that area to make the shield fit flush against the hood.

I checked last month with Mark and these heat shields are no longer available. I would have purchased one. Brad
