Turbo Exhaust Heat Shield

[TOYMOTA]

I'm trying to tart my engine bay up a little. Does anyone know where I can buy a new exhaust heat shield for my tubby? I assume it's the same as for a non-turbo, and same as the Celica ones!?!?

what about some exhaust wrap? thats what im doing to my rolla at the weekend, looks good if you do it neat and helps keep the gases hoter inside the manafold which helps them escape faster, and the engine bay temp lower which is better for power in both cases :)

I've heard that it's not really a good idea with the tubby. Cos it makes the zorst too hot which in turn will result in a melted turbo!

I could probably take the old heatshield off and sand and polish it, but I know I've seen new ones for sale somewhere. At JAE the Fensport cars had brand spanking new ones on them, but I can't see em for sale on their website! :ffs:

Mr 2 ones dont have the vents in (if yours is a rev 3) Mr T is the best bet but an ST-205 one is about £140+vat iirc

140??????? for a bit of floppy tin

Yer, phoned Mr T up yesterday. £142 + VAT. He told me himself to make one myself as that is a rip-off (at least he was honest)

why dont you just clean up your existing heat shield?

oh and i've got a turbo heat jacket and exhaust wrap and must say it works a treat

(it helped shave a couple of secs round Oulton Park too ;))
