Turbo heat shield
Anyone ever use a heat shield like these?
How effective are they compared to blankets? These are only $80 so i thought they might be worth checking into. Seems like a good setup for rear mount in the rain too.

As far as heat are they remotely close to a blanket? I have a rear mount so its not too big of a deal to have a hot turbo but I'd still like to use it as a shield.

Why can't you use both? would they work together or would it not be a signifigant change? I currently have a heat blanket but I can still feel a good amount of heat as soon as I open the hood. I think it cooked my power steering pump already.

The only heat issue im concerned with is it transfering to the compressor housing. Would a blanket make a big difference in cooling the boosted air since it blankets the exhaust housing from the compressor?
The thing i liked about the shield is...well the fact that I can use it as a shield. But it looks so simple that I think ill just build one and buy a blanket.
