    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.

    1964 Chevrolet C10 truck firewall

    ABOVE: A typical firewall like this one in a 1964 Chevy truck doesn’t do anything for the look of this engine compartment. Besides looking grungy and a bit faded, the color doesn’t go well with the stock Chevy Orange paint on the engine either. But adding a Heatshield Products thermal barrier to a firewall like this will make it look new and better than ever.

     

    Vehicle firewalls are seldom attractive things to look at outside of a pure-built show car. Between the irregular contours and plethora of hoses, wiring and other functional arteries passing through them, firewalls aren’t a good canvas for attractiveness. In addition to that, firewalls are a primary entryway for heat into the interior. But with Heatshield Produ
