heat shield vs. turbo blanket
Can some one please break down the difference between the two besides the fact 1 wraps around the whole exhaust side and the other is like a protection plate? which one would be a better buy so that i wont have to put a big piece of sheet metal between the lines and the turbo?
thanks in advance

One big difference is that one still releases all that heat under your hood, but just deflects it a bit. The other contains it more in your exhaust stream, ultimately sending it out the tailpipe. Overall, your underhood temps should be lower with a blanket (and header wrap) than with simple shielding.
