The Lava™ Turbo Shield is the ultimate solution for managing heat in turbocharged racing applications. As the first volcanic rock turbo heat shield, it has set the standard for performance, fit, and quality.
One of the key features of the Lava™ Turbo Heat Shield is its ability to reduce turbo lag while protecting other engine components and reducing underhood temperatures. This is achieved through the use of internal hems, which not only provide additional strength but also give the shield a cleaner and more professional appearance. Unlike turbo heat shields with external hems, our shield will not fall apart when removed from the turbine housing.
The redesigned Lava™ Turbo Heat Shield offers a tighter fit on the turbo housing and larger openings for center housings discharge pipes, making it compatible with the newest generation of high-performance turbochargers.
Constructed with a rugged outer layer of our Lava Shield material, this turbo wrap is 25 percent stronger than comparable fiberglass shields, ensuring a longer lifespan. The Inferno Mat, a silica contact layer, enables the Lava Turbo Heat Shield™ to withstand continuous temperatures of up to 1800°F. Additionally, our exclusive BioCool inner insulation keeps the cold side temperature much cooler compared to OEM metal shields.
Installation of the Lava™ Turbo Shield is quick and easy, thanks to its precision-fit design. There is no need to trim or fit the heatshield blanket to your turbo housing, making it a snap to install. This shield is suitable for both traditional and v-band turbo compressor housings.
