    Lava Turbo Shield And Exhaust Wrap Install With Before/After Comparison

    An unshielded/uninsulated turbo and its supporting systems represent horsepower being left on the table, and an exhaust wrap install can easily help you fix this. In addition to its wasted potential, an uninsulated turbo system will also have negative effects on reliability as the constant high underhood temperatures accelerate wear on underhood components.

    The real head scratcher with seeing an uninsulated turbocharger setup is how easy it is to insulate the system, keep more heat in it and enjoy the benefits it provides. From cost to installation, there are no insurmountable or even remotely difficult obstacles standing in the way of placing a turbo

    Why It’s Important to Insulate and Keep Heat in Your Exhaust System

    Insulating a vehicles exhaust system has multiple performance enhancing benefits, especially on turbocharged or supercharged vehicles. When it comes to performance improvements, the key factor is exhaust gas velocity (EGV) which ties into exhaust gas temperature (EGT). On the other side, insulating the exhaust system significantly reduces the amount of heat radiated by the exhaust system inside the engine compartment and underneath the vehicle. This reduces the amount of damaging heat exposure components near the exhaust system are subjected to, leading to longer component life and proper function without heat being a major factor.

    Follow along as we break down the benefits of keeping more heat in your exhaust system.

    Turbocharged Applications

    On turbocharged applications, insulating the “hot side” of the turbocharger and keeping more heat in helps in multiple ways.
