Keeping a turbocharger cool is the secret of maximising performance whilst encouraging faster spool-up and minimising turbo lag;and one of the best and cost-effective ways of keeping a turbo cool is fitting a turbo heat shield. A turbo heat shield will also reduce engine bay temperatures and protect sensitive components.

DEI now offers a variety of turbo shields in three distinct ranges:

GEN-3 TITANIUM™ Turbo Shields is DEI’s most technologically advanced shield line.

GEN-3 TITANIUM features a silicone-coated TITANIUM LR outer layer, a silica blend insulation layer with a glass-silica-stainless weave inner layer and a protective stainless mesh liner. This is the strongest, most heat-resistant textile available. GEN-3 TITANIUM fitments include T3, T4, T6, T25/T28 and T6X turbo applications. Prices start at £245.34.

Ultra 47™ Turbo Shields are made from a Tri-Layer mix of an aluminium-impregnated glass fibre outer shell with a high-temperature insulating mat core and silica glass blend liner.

They are made in the USA, sell at an economical price and are available in T3 and T4 turbo sizes with more sizes to be added to the range shortly. Prices start at £146.60.
