Immediate cop after this vid, not a bad price and great way to keep the temps down around my pure850 while I'm waiting for this Wagner Tuning Intake Manifold
@@walterherrenadez6511 from my understanding no, the reflective material “reflects” heat off the surface it’s on. You don’t want it on the inside reflecting towards the cone. Anyone can correct me if I’m wrong!
i think he meant the bottom of the heat shield, so facing the turbo. i haven't thought of that. normally you put it on the component that you don't want to get hot, not wrap it around the hot component.
Have you ever considered removing the rubber seal on rear engine bay ? Just another way for heat to escape that "sealed" engine bay . Considering do it to Beccasboopra Soup , It did improve for my Caddy V wagons drive around temps.
You’re definitely right the results. Do you speak for themselves? I wonder if you get better results if you had it painted with thermal paint like I got my cat painted with but also another question. How much does an increase the heat at the turbo? But awesome video as always, brother
Hey Kern, could you do a video on the different DAW turbo options? It’s really confusing what the FlowMax vs the UltraFlow vs FlowMax with ultra compressor or the hupercore do compared to each other with boost curves and peaks
@@Renzology correct, it's made for gen2. But for gen1 fitment, It requires an additional drilled hole to fit the mounts and cutting off the small plate that fits over the waste gate actuator arm.
@@Eddy-09 both function for the same purporse. verus just has thermal coating to further lower thermal exposure to intake box plus it's more aesthetically pleasing under the hood.
@@shweatycardboards8954 The verus one does look a lot better. And it’s only about $20 more. I wonder if the Verus actually helps lower temps a bit better tho.. what do you think, does the coating help it actually reduce temps?
@@behindthebuild8016 the measurements were taken as soon as i pulled in, but like i said can't take perfect back to back tests. Both had pulls on and off the highway
A CSF Heat Exchanger will also prevent Heat Soak: ua-cam.com/video/I-D19eC9CoI/v-deo.html
The first 2 seconds is just pure gold
Def the money shot
I came three times
Thanks for the review and data kev! Glad you love the product 🫡

thanks for the support man
Thanks for the video, legend! For a Jun 2018 build B58 there were only 4x 13mm bolts, and best tool for the rear one is a deep well socket.
Also getting your manifold coated in cerakote glacier black is a freaking game changer ! Up to 20 degrees difference
watch the videos of the turbo setup on my channel
Thank you for showing is that this doesn’t work with the big turbo car! Super informative data @ 5:48
With your top mount turbo, you should at Least wrap the headers with header wrap...the nice spray all the wrap with DEI silicone header spray.
curious how this compares to the Osprey heat shield
I also added reflective heat shielding on the outside of the MST box excluding the top cover that seemed to help significantly when comparing temps
That can definitely help especially if you have a turbo setup that this doesn't work with
It would help to put reflective tape on the inside of this protector?

it will hurt airflow. the rear of the hood is not good to evacuate heat
Can’t believe the size of your garage now mate 😂

Exhaust EGTs get to over 1000F. It's shouldn't be a problem with a quality manifold/turbo and definitely not a problem for OEM.
@@kern417 thanks for getting back to me and ok awesome to hear I have to grab one definitely…
Can you test the FUNK one?
It’s a full turbo wrap around, looks like a blanket.

yes i'll have a surprise soon
Would it help to add reflective tape to the inside of this shield? tks
would you want to pull it out again and apply some golden heat foil? that could also further increase the shielding capabilities ;)
you know i just like tinkering with stuff. we'll see
@@kern417 and we love to watch you tinkering 😜👌🏼
Wondering if the heat being kept in is going to affect anything under the shield in the long run.
Air can still travel through the under side of the shield pushing the temps down and through the hole where the downpipe goes
Me thinks that this shield will completely hide the AA downpipe from visual CA smog check lol
Ive looked at this shield before, ive got the Dinan intake, wondered if this would work with the stock lower air box and help with heat soak
yep it fits tight around the turbo for good clearance with other intakes
Don’t run the heat shield without having all 5 bolts. it will make a rattle inside and out the cabin with just having 3 bolts in.
I chose verus heat shield instead because it has thermal coating.
Did they make a gen 1 b58 version yet, I thought it was only for gen2?

@@shweatycardboards8954how does the verus heatshield compare to this one?? Gen 2 right?

I hit the 👍 Be4 watching the video 😂❤🎉😅
Sorry but that’s not significant difference to use that. So that’s a no no for me. Not even difference in iat (need to see your log for that)
If 20°F+ reduction in temps is not enough for you then save your money 🤝🏾 for those of us that push out cars that is very significant
Yea I agree esp as it’s not the most scientific way of testing bonnet left open for an extra 5-10min will also make a reduction in temps

At this point, every Kern video i prepare for a starting contest.
