My factory alloy intake air box is about 2 or 3 inches from my turbo hot housing and has no heat insulating material on it, does anyone have a factory looking installed heat shield there? I put in some stuff from Aircraft Spruce and my intake temps dropped like 60 degrees F after the same period idling without the shield, and about the same results 0 to 100MPH after a 5 mile drive no boost to cool things off Mr.Butt Dyno agrees, very noticable increase in acceleration by adding a (missing?) heat shield.
