Lava Turbo Heat Shield 1800'F


Duramax Turbo Diesel 6.6L 

Heatshield Products Made in The USA 
Heatshield Products Lava Turbo Shield was designed for and tested to manage heat on the most hardcore turbocharged racing applications. Heatshield Products Lava Turbo Heat Shield reduces turbo lag while protecting other engine components and reducing under-hood temperatures. Lava Turbo Heat Shield is a custom fit and uses extreme-temperature materials to keep heat in the hot side of the turbo where it belongs. The Lava Turbo Heat Shield has a rugged outer layer of our Lava Shield material that is 25 percent stronger than comparable fiberglass shields, giving a longer life span. The silica contact layer and silica insulation make Lava Turbo Heat Shield capable of withstanding 1,800 degrees F continuous. We use a 1/2-inch-thick BioCool thermal-barrier inner pad sandwiched between heavy-duty foil, bound and sewn together with a stainless steel mesh at the edges. BioCool is a non-caustic, non-flammable thermal barrier. The precision-fit design means you do not have to trim or fit the heatshield blanket to your turbo housing, making installation a snap.


Frequent Ask Question?
Q. My turbo shield is smoking after it is installed, will it catch on fire?
A. No, smoking is normal. the material used are non combustible and the smoke you see are binder burning off from the textiles used, this is completely normal. The smoking will stop after a short period of time. It can last as little as a few minutes to a few days, it depends on how hot your turbo gets.
Q. I have installed my turbo shield, but i still can't touch my turbo is it not working?
A. Yes the shield is functioning just fine. The shield reduces the amount of radiant heat, but it can't always knock the temperature down to where it is safe to the touch. For example, say your turbo is running at 1000°F, and you were able to knock the temperature down to 500°F, you certainly wouldn't put your hand in an oven at 500°F, so please don't touch the turbo shield either!
