I made a set using material and wire from summit.com's site. bout $80 for the supplies. I'm also wrapping my complete exhaust system in thermal/header wrap and cuddling all wires/pipes/etc... in heat barrier and shield. Overkill but I do not want to get under a fkn car again after this recent rebuild.

From their ebay store, PTPDirect is their username I believe. They are pretty much universal sizing, their T3/T4 version fits the T60-1 from turbonetics great. In fact they say it will fit up to a T66.
On a side note I got it two days after ordering, and they are in Texas. Great service.

I want it for my 850 bb. The trubos are real close to the starter...I would really feel better with a shield like this.

I ALWAYS thought that the turbos needed to disappate heat, and things around the turbo, ac lines, etc should be heat wrapped.....blankets on turbos bake the turbo?
no??

its actually better..keeps the turbine side hotter..better exhaust velocity.(faster spool)
