Turbo heat shield?

[saburai]

ATS 093 kit, what aftermarket heat shields are you recommending?

I'm thinking that a pre formed unit might be more durable? Insulate better? IDK...

Then just get a universal kit for a t3 turbo.

There's a pretty gnarly turbo blanket I seen on amazon, not sure if that's beneficial on a diesel but I'd say it's safe to assume so.

Any time you can keep the heat in the exhaust and out of the engine bay is a good thing.

I'll second what Jasper said.

Going off of what jasper said... Would it be beneficial to wrap the exhaust manifold, downpipe, etc. With heat wraps?

Till they rot out ..yes.
Ever unwrap that chitt?
Ceramic coated a set of harley pipes, big help.
Epay\amazon t3\4 wrap=easy

 

[IDIBRONCO]

Yes it would. Heat aside, the most benefit would be from your heads to the turbo. This would hold the heat inside the exhaust and keep it moving faster, gaining boost.

Trying to remember the name...
Maybe white lightning coatings?
Oh Brian, where art though? (@IDIoit) I thought you brought them up.

Loctite SF7900 under any wrap does wonders

I sand blast and coat all my headers with it, even if they aren't wrapped, with those I just hit them with an exhaust paint over top because when you get it thick it likes to flake if you smack it
It's a lot cheaper than buying them ceramic coated, and good luck finding ceramic coated manifolds for these trucks


Edit: just an FYI, I don't use an oven for any coating cure on exhaust, I bolt it on uncured, idle 10, let cool, idle 20, let cool, and go for a half hour drive
