Security for your turbo...

For those who don't, or can't, use a stock turbo shield I thought this was pretty interesting http://www.forcedinductions.com/images/PTKturboblanket.gif

I just had a piece of stainless rolled on the machine at work polished it up nice and drilled two holes looks okay

This shield was on my Buick when I purchased it. I don't know who originally made it, but they did a nice job. I think it is the most practical idea for an aftermarket turbo. Very much like shawnz described. A flat piece of thin stainless sheet that is high polished. The holes line up great and on mine there is one louvre punched out in front. The other benefit of this is that it weighs nothing, and I have never had a heat problem with my hood pad. Very easy and cheap to make too.

I tweaked my stock shield to go over my PT-61. Had to drill new holes and do some creative trimming. I wonder at what point it just won't fit anymore? When I move to a 'big shaft' turbo?

Whats the bag securing??

Coating the exhaust housing would be $$ worth spending IMO as at least you might get a performance gain out of it.

I have a brand new one never used

If someone is interested in it, PM me and we can make a deal. Also if someone can tell me how much they cost, I forgot. I bought it about 8 months ago.

IMHO the bag and the shield server two different purposes.

The shields serve to stop excessive heat from torching your hoods and pads, while the bag is used to insulate the exhaust turbine housing. This won't allow heat to escape and will therefore help maintain exhaust velocity. It will also shield the hood, but it' smost important function is insulation.
