Protects wastegate diaphragm, Rugged lava rock fiber, Rated for 1800F

Heatshield Products Lava Wastegate Heat Shield is a specially designed thermal barrier to protect the turbocharger wastegate actuator and its critical internal components from the excessive heat exposure it's subjected to from the exhaust side of the turbo. Protecting the wastegate from heat exposure increases the wastegate diaphragm life, and more consistent actuation of the wastegate by insulating the diaphragm from constant and extreme temperature changes that affect how quickly the wastegate opens and closes. The business end of this heat shield is made the HPi's proprietary Inferno Mat. This special high-temperature silica insulation can withstand constant temperatures of 1800 F and intermittent temperatures of 2200 F. It remains flexible and strong at even at sustain temperatures of 1800 F. Heatshield Products uses their Lava Shield as the outer layer to both give it that cool carbon fiber look and while adding another layer of insulation performance. Installation is easy, in most cases not requiring removal of the wastegate, and can be uninstalled and reinstalled even after countless heat cycles. Each turbo wastegate heat shield includes wire for the capstan fastener.

• Keeps the diaphragm from deteriorating due to heat cycles and helps with longevity
• Helps for more consistent and precise operation of the wastegate valve
• Increase turbo performance and consistency
• Easily installed and removed, even after countless heat cycles
