Message	Heat shields only block the heat from radiating onto nearby items, still allowing the turbo to cool. Turbo blankets don't allow the turbo to cool off and can possibly result in premature failure/oil coking. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1992 300ZX NA 5 Sp (Dead) 1990 300ZX NA Auto 2+2 (Dead) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 400 HP) 1990 300ZX TT 5 Sp (Est. 600 HP) 2004 G35 Sport 6MT (DD) 1969 Chevelle (Toy)
