what kind of turbo are you running? There are some premade turbine heat shields out there for certain turbos.

Turbo blanket works too. They aren't particularly cheap though.

i used a piece of sheet metal bent it and cut it down to fit. I wored it in place with some bailing wire. It doesn't look the best but it helps not melt my brake lines of master cylinder resevior. Nick
