All,

I've been thinking about under bonnet heat management and turbine efficienc=

Hi Steve,

In my view the part will not offer any measurable performance increase and
will lead to greater chance of cracking the exhaust housing. I see no
benefit other than better protection of the brake vac, which can be handled
very well with shielding.

Good Luck with ordering it... I tried to get questions answered and the site
owners never responded, although that was perhaps a year ago. Personally,
it LOOKS as though it would protect everything near the turbo from the heat,
except perhaps for the turbo itself.

Hi Corky,

Not a resounding thumbs up then...

On my RHD car the turbine outlet down-pipe casting is right up against the =
brake lines there - that represents more of a threat than the turbine housi=
ng itself. I may email them to see if they have any evidence to back up the=
ir claims for the product but for now, unless someone chimes in says they h=
ave had good success with the product, I'll probably give it a miss. At nea=
rly =A3100 (once VAT is added) it is also not cheap.

How close is "right up"? I've been amazed at the difference with a sheild.=
And even wrapping my lines with aluminum helped quite a bit.
