A recent post by an esteemed member got me to thinking that I really need to get some kind of heat shielding on my turbo. Being cheap, I immediately checked out ebay and found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/T3-T4-Turbo...sQ5fAccessories
Anybody have any experience with these? What other options do I have for that kind of money?
And oh yeah-- Will it fit my stock Hitachi?

A t3 unit will loosely fit a stock turbo.
Those units on ebay are cheap and will fall apart very quickly. I know someone you tried one. A good one costs a lot.
We sell them
I do however have something nicer coming out soon...

Its in the material construction.
I can sell you one robo, however I would prefer to sell you something better;
These inconel heat-sheilds are obviously more expensive, but they allow the proper cooling of the turbine housing. The heat-blankets don't..
I will be discontinuing the blankets soon..
