heat shield on stock turbo
I just installed my downpipe and I was wondering if the heat shield was needed. Right now I don't have it on, please someone help.

get some exhaust wrap if you are really worried about it.

I modified my factory heat shield to clear the downpipe. I also wrapped the entire DP with Thermo-Tec header wrap.

be careful of header wrap if you drive car in the winter. does some nasty stuff to pipes when salt is traped there for a while.

Chlorides of any kind, including Sodium Chloride (salt), will attack and corrode stainless steel almost as easily as it would carbon steel. Stainless does not mean impervious.
