My car is getting a new turbo in the next 2 weeks.(VG30 highflow)

Just wondering if the stock heat shield will fit back on after the install of the new turbo?

Or should i bin it and buy a Turbo beanie.

What size beanie do i get if i were to get one?

Heat shield should still fit as the turbo is low mounted. Wouldn't be sitting that close to the manifold that you cant get the heat shield on.

Just my theory, not definite though. Although have no reason to see why it wouldn't fit, as the over-all sizes are virtually the same.

in my opinion i wouldnt go a turbo beanie, as i have heard from a few different sources that it reduces the life of your turbo considerably.

if you owned a drag car and thats all your were doing, then it would be good to have one.

driving around on the street etc. yes it would reduce the heat in your engine bay, but it keeps the heat inside your turbo, and have heard of a guy that his dump pipe warped and blew the gasket apart.

i would recommend your standard heat shield if it fits (if it doesn't get one made to suit) or get your turbine housing hpc coated.

If it's a VG30 BB highflow using a Garrett cartridge then the top heatshield will need to be cut on the front side to clear the comp housing as the Garret cartridge is shorter than the Skyline one. It will fit, just need to gasaxe a section out of it.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
