Just wondering if anyone has used a heat shield on the Dezod S1 turbo kit (t3/t04 turbo)

There are other heat shields that I've found but they are all the same concept, this one looks the best though and they are all about the same price. The only reason I'm looking to get a shield is because the turbo is actually melting the plastic near my radiator

 

iv scene alot of turbos with that cover but i think they do it more for the looks

 

yea, looks is defiantly good, even if it fits but doesn't reduce heat id still be happy.

 

atp sells one too...

hmmm going with polished, defiantly

 

i'de say it helps, may doesnt do a lot when it comes to performance but will help a bit keeping the heat in the engine bay down.. if you are running a tubular manifold it will almost be pointless since you get more heat coming from the manifold.. but if you want it for dress up, still good for a price not too much

 

bought one, ill post back on here with pics

 

watching

 

So - i got my heat shield today .....

long story short, im getting my money back. Ill be ordering the ebay one. One would think that I could expect this type of result from ebay, thats why i went with ATP but looks like im going to buy one off ebay. Ill post updates once i recieve more parts.

This is what i ordered:


This is what i got:

 

lol - I wished I had seen this post earlier --- ATP sucks so much IMHO.

That thing looks like 3/4 of a tin can.

 

Yea, when i called them I said... i ordered a "stainless steel polished heat shield" not a $5 piece of tin that fits around my turbo.... you seriously charged me 70$ for this and expect me to be satisfied?

I have to say they were very nice and are giving me a full refund, im not even paying for return shipping on it (its probobly not even worth the cost of shipping it back) but overall they have good customer service.

 

It looks like an imitation of mine.

 

 

i hate you no i really do lol

 

 

^^where can you get that hks one??

 

Actually My turbo is burning the crap out of the carpet under my hood. I had to actually put fire retardant heat sheets to stop my paint from bubbling... ill post a pick when i can
