^cool thanks

what do you guys think of this:

Heat Shield
A stainless steel heat shield, designed for Mazda 13b engines, fits between the lower intake and the turbo system It’s job is to block radiant heat absorption into the lower intake manifold reducing charge air temperatures and increasing horsepower. The shield can also be layered with thermal barrier panel material, further improving heat rejection. This design retains an air space between lower intake and shield, further reducing heat transfer.
Price: $69.00

i don't know how tf you would get a blanket around the greddy even .

I found some really good heat sheild stuff that is some kind of aluminium coated ceramic . Jammed that in between firewall and turbo with a peice that hooks over the top of the turbo as well . Works really well to contain the heat and sheild the lower intake .

yeah, I remember seeing it now...
I pulled off my old adhesive heat shield and got a new one to apply. It was pretty burned up, but never went all the way thru

This is the stuff i used . With the x-member off I just jammed it up between the existing heat sheild an the floor and cut a slot in it so i could bend it over the top of the turbo to sheild the intake . Then you bolt the x-member back on to hold it in place .

works a treat and only took an hr to install .......
