Bag that goes over the turno - hot side to protect and keep other parts cool!

Thanks alot

Is Rezlo still talking to us?? I would also lke a "bag" for my turbo. I got so dik with those heat shield plate covers that I just bombed them. Do we really need to cover the turbo? I prefer to leave him naked so that the wind can cool him. Any thoughts, anybody?

Me also need to know. What trick is this?

My old engine I left mine naked... new one as well, I'd say its ok, you must just make some provision to cover the ABS

For the longest time, I didn't have a heatshield (until Nuren kindly gave me his spare). It was fine, but the heat did cause that asbestos cover on the bonnet to start dis-integrating. My feeling is that it's better to let the turbo run a little hotter and other parts cooler (like ABS, power transistor, air con pipes, etc.) But that's just my totally uneducated guess 🙂

There is two sidesto this. One the turbo runs cooler & let's the heat out faster & the second is that everything around it get's fried.
So, it's your choice.

I always thought that an upmounted turbo with vents in the bonnet would work well, so that the turbo runs cooler & doesn't fry sh*t around it.

Also my uneducated guess.

A turbo bag does a couple of good things for you.

One it keeps the heat in the engine bay low by covering the turbo protecting other engine components.

Two it reduces turbo lag by retaining all the energy in the form of heat on the exhuast housing of the turbo and keeps the heat on the exhuast side of the turbo allowing the compressor side to run cooler meaning cooler intake temps.

Three it actually reduces the wear and tear of the turbo by keep it at a constant tempreture with little fluctuations, so the metal wont expand and contract as much during operation.

I have looked into the application of this, There are also down sides to doing this like longer cool down times and the like.

Nice information, interesting. Would like to learn more about this
