like i said get the dimensions for your turbo to make your shield and get ready to go shopping with your wife and/or Gf. You will have a good but twisted reason as to why you're in the kitchen department haha

Not a bad idea. And stores like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Home Goods, etc all have individual pots on sale at close-out prices. Good deal!
