Hi,

As per the title, anyone know where I can purchase a turbo jacket (heat shield) in the UK?

Cheers,

what turbo have you got?

 

Owen Developments.

 

I have a one from a classic wagon (tdo4) if thats any good? Wouln't fit over my new down pipe

 

that is who i was going to say, but they dont make one for the tdo5 :-(

 

You can get universal ones off fleabay I think. Not sure if there any good though.

 

i am pretty sure i have heat shield of a 96 version3 sti ra.

 

You can cut/modify the original heat shield to fit.

 

AET Turbos, do a metal heat shield or a turbo jacket.

Banny

 

I was advised not to run a turbo jacket on my MD321H as the extra heat retained in the turbo could compromise long-term reliability

 

Running a VF28 at the moment, probably going to VF/GT30 at a later stage. I was thinking of the jacket in terms of reducing lag and for better spool up but reading on nasioc.com site seems some folks also agree it can reduce the turbo life considerably.

I have seen a cool product, can't remember the company but they do a heatshield sheet made of aluminium and other stuff, can be shaped into anything including a turbo heatshield.

Incidently I took off the original factory one due to it rattling like a tin can at 4k to 5k rpm (tried everything to secure it but in the end just removed it completely).

Cheers,

Fz
