Default Economy turbine covering
Is there an inexpensive covering for an S475 turbo-mine sits close
to the hood, a little worried what the heat would do to the paint

Ebay has several covers for under 100. My t4 cover works well on my s400. It was $60

I looked at some of those, but I don't know if they fit an S475 T4 turbo-they list GT stuff, what ever that is

I have the DNA Motoring GT45 blanket and the Turbine Housings are almost Identical as the S475 T4. I couldn't see it being an issue. Mine fits on nice not snug (on a GT45)

Looks to be a nice quality and was $35.

I built a shield. I have a glass hood and was worried about it melting. No issues.
