Induction Kit Heat Shields???

[Gray]

Does anyone or can anyone make induction kit heat shields for the GTI-R compatible with a HKS Mushroom Filter? I'd quite like to swap the HKS one for an apexi filter but cant really afford the £200 to blow on one at the mo!

Nah mate, you don't want to blow on the filter to keep it cool, you should build some sort of heat sheild round it :roll:

Can'y you just fab one out of some cardboard in the short term and see if it makes a difference?

Cardboard is easy to work with and insulates against heat. If it worked you could always stick some plastic to it and paint it black.

A bit "blue peter" but technically no different.

Thats a good idea that Jim!! I was actually thinking of getting a sheet of stainless from B&Q and working with that but if I do it in cardboard first I'll be able to make it easy and make a template on the metal.

Thats my project over the weekend sorted

that looks like a spec-r battery location kit not cheap. took mine of think it was becouse the box used to rattle it only came with one little bracket not the best designed kit for a gtir. i have thought of refitting it but will have to cut a hole for thr front mount pipe still got the induction pipe on must be the most expensive induction pipe you could buy.
