Beat the hell out of the car stock, and then try to touch your coil pack as soon as you shut it down. Then beat the hell out of it with a heatshield on the coilpack with the nylon spacers installed, and touch it.

Big difference. Sorry, you're wrong.

And it does help with the wires not heating up. Until I got that thing I had the biggest problems with that damned fourth wire. I dont have any problems anymore.

Buy it, it doesn't hurt, it only helps.

 

This is one of those things where I'm on both sides. The heat shield will keep the coil and wires cooler thus extending their life. However, the heat shields will also block some of, if not most of, the air coming from the hood scoop that is supose to help cool the turbo, thus raising the overall underhood temperatures and the temperatures of the turbo itself.

 

You keep thinking that. It helps but won't dramatically make any changes.

 

Well I say the picks on Modern sold me plus it couldn't hurt for that little bit of money. Might want to protect your investment on those wires and coil pack. Just my .02 cents

 

true, how much does it block as far as air flow? dont want to extend my coil's life at the expense of my turbo's

 

It looks as though the right outlet from the scoop is blocked completely, but it looks as though the left side might clear the shield and get to the turbo.

 

hmm, but the msd is more heat resistant, right? so just replace the stock with msd after its life is expended and keep the air on the turbo. this is what my vote would be. cost of coil < cost of turbo rebuild

 

My thought as well, that's why I don't have the heat shield. And if there is still doubt you could get the heat reflective sleeves or wraps for the wires.

 

My heat shield gave my car 20rwhp! If that's not dramatic then I don't know what is.


rwhp? That's right ladies and gentlement.....I'll see if I can find a dyno sheet.
