GrimmSpeed Reflect-A-Gold Foil Turbo Heatshield - GRMGS092018

The gold foil was precisely pre-designed in CAD to fit with our Version 2 Heat Shield, and then CNC cut on a plotter for perfect fit and easy install. To test the effectiveness of the addition of The DEI Reflect-A-GOLD™ on the GrimmSpeed Version 2 Heat Shield in reducing temperature on the surface of the intercooler near the turbo, a test vehicle was driven in a predetermined loop and measured in the same location for each configuration. The drive loop consisted of 6 miles of low speed driving, followed by 10 miles of highway driving. The vehicle was then returned to the shop, where a FLIR C2 Thermal Imaging Camera was used to measure the temperature of the surface on the side of a GrimmSpeed STI TMIC. The measured location used was just above the passenger side bracket (for consistency) and is of interest due to its proximity to the turbocharger. All of the testing was performed on the same day, driving the same path with the same amount of WOT, in 20 degree F ambient temperature. The temperature measurement for each heat shield configuration is as follows: As you can see, The GrimmSpeed V2 Turbo Heat Shield alone offers an impressive improvement of over 20% heat reduction as measured at the surface of the TMIC when compared to an exposed turbocharger. The addition of The Reflect-A-GOLD™ film increased that improvement an additional 10%. The black ceramic coated heat shield offered an even greater improvement with a heat reduction of over 32% and when coupled with the pre-cut gold foil, the overall heat reduction reaches a staggering 36%! This foil is pre-cut specifically to fit the GrimmSpeed Version 2 Turbo Heat Shield [GRM092007 & GRM092008] Written - GrimmSpeed Reflect-A-Gold Install
