^^^ Good point fixed it for you!! lol

haha right.

wow... i feel somewhat dumber for reading that..

that is a horrible explanation that doesn't even make sense. im sorry, but it doesn't..


basically, if you have ANY engine, and ANYtype ofmods(especially a cone filter), then YES! get a heatshield. period..

you must be drunk


and a turbo car or not, heat soak is a bad thing..... just engine soaking up the heat or turbo soaking it up, either way a bad thing

and i doubt there are proven hp#'s for loss, but loss is loss and with how much of a turtle our cars are, we need all we can get

You sir are an idiot!

All high hp turbo cars use a thing called a FMIC it takes the hot air and cooles it down before it makes it's way to the intake. If you think the hot air under the hood is bad just hhink how much hotter it is after it passes through the turbo.

Bottom line IF you have a good intercooler and or water injection you have no use for a lil heat shield period!

I'm leaning towards making myself a heat shield.

Heatsoak is when the intercooler is overwhelmed by heat from the turbo. A good intercooler should counter this.

The heat underthe hood is so minor when compared to the heat from the turbo that the air has to pass through before making it to the intake mani.

Please do.............. OH and hit us with a before and after dyno runs so we all can see how right sean is with those big HP #'s LMFAO

you are correct....... to a point,but most people run such small intercoolers, that they can't get rid of the heat...

a good heat shield will make upm for a lower quality intercooler
