The stock heat shield works just fine. Make your stock one look pretty or make your own. The after market for this product has been long gone.
My personal experience with the old after market one was a failure. It was too long(trying to fit the hood liner detent) and drooped and rubbed on the waste gate actuator. This destroyed the heat shield. That is why the stock one is so short. Good luck.

What does the stock heat shield look like? My car never had one

What about a turbo blanket? Is there one that does fit a stock turbo?

Here is a PIC. No need for a turbo blanket.

I like the looks of mine. Just a couple of washers and clears actuator arm np with dp on.

Is it a two piece? At least in the picture it looks that way.

I have the lower piece that screws on in my trunk, never knew what it was for. Thanks

My stock one in the PIC is one piece. If you look closely at the PIC you can see where my single hose actuator rubbed on the hood liner. Modifying the single hose actuator bracket solved this issue.

This is what the turbo heat shield looks like on a factory hot air?

My car doesn't have one on it, I was expecting it to look more like whats on the 86/87 cars.
