turbo heat protection for 182 conversion?

[simondavies89]

hi, ive been looking at buying some of the nimbus heat shield to protect the brake lines as ive been advised to, when i was looking i came across the turbo housing heat shields, the ones that wrap around the turbo like a blanket. are these a good option and would they do a good job or are they dodgy?

They are good but it's not just the turbo that will give off heat so you will need some nimbus to shield from the downpipe and manifold anyway.

oh okay sounds good, think i will get both to be safe, they look pretty smart in my opinion aswell and the reviews for them look good.

I wrapped the downpipe too on mine, that helps.

On low boost its less of an issue. But still a good idea. Don't forget to paint it if you do. It seals it.
