FAQ

Titanium™ T3 Turbo Shield

What does the shield do?

Design Engineering shield was designed to decrease lag and reduce engine bay temperatures. With the shield installed, the exhaust gasses in the turbine are less dense. This will increase exhaust velocity, making it easier to move the turbine wheel, creating less turbo lag. Also it will lower engine bay temperatures, resulting in cooler intake air being pulled from the engine bay.

How is the T3 Shield constructed?

Design Engineering shields are stronger and more durable than other turbo blankets or shields on the market. Titanium Turbo Shields with LR technology includes a hi-temp rated silica insulation padding under the outer layer for extra added protection against extreme turbo-generated heat. There are 3 wire-tiepoints which are used to secure the blanket to the hot side of the turbo (turbine housing).

What is in the kit?

The T3 Turbo Shield Kit includes a T3 shield, five feet of wire to secure the shield, one roll of 2"x15' Titanium exhaust wrap for the downpipe, and two 14" ties to secure the wrap.

Will this fit my turbo?

Design Engineering does not have a complete application list due to the variety and increasing number of turbine housing styles. T3 Turbo Shield "short list": Garrett-style T3 with 4 and 5-bolt exducer flanges; Holset with T3 4-bolt inducer flange; Precision, TiAL, and Turbonetics full V-Band. Consider these dimensions when making your decision: ID 6.5"; Width 2" / 3" = loose / tight fit

Titanium™ T4 Turbo Shield

Design Engineering shield was designed to decrease lag and reduce engine bay temperatures. With the shield installed, the exhaust gasses in the turbine are less dense. This will increase exhaust velocity, making it easier to move the turbine wheel, creating less turbo lag.

Will it fit my turbo?

Design Engineering does not have a complete application list due to the variety and increasing number of turbine housing styles. The T4 Turbo Shield was designed around the OEM-type Garrett T4 turbine housing with a 4-bolt exducer flange. Since many turbo manufacturers have followed Garrett's design, the application list is quite long. The GT42/45 series turbos are a tight fit, but fit loosely into the T6 Shield. Consider these dimensions when making your decision: ID 8"; Width 2" / 4" = loose / tight fit; No specific down pipe side, both sides round- 5" opening.

Titanium™ T6 Turbo Shield

What does the shield do?

Design Engineering shield was designed to decrease lag and reduce engine bay temperatures. With the shield installed, the exhaust gasses in the turbine are less dense. This will increase exhaust velocity, making it easier to move the turbine wheel, creating less turbo lag. Also it will lower engine bay temperatures, resulting in cooler intake air being pulled from the engine bay.

What is in the kit?

The T6 Turbo Shield Kit includes a T6 shield, five feet of wire to secure the shield, one roll of 2"x15' Titanium exhaust wrap for the downpipe, and two 14" ties to secure the wrap.

Will it fit my turbo?

Design Engineering does not have a complete application list due to the variety and increasing number of turbine housing styles. The T6 Turbo Shield was designed around the OEM-type Garrett T6 turbine housing with a VBand exducer flange. Since many turbo manufacturers have followed Garrett's design, the application list is quite long. The GT47 series turbos fit well, but the shield lacks about 3" of circumference. Consider these dimensions when making your decision: ID 9"; Width 4.5"; No specific down pipe side, both sides round 6.5" opening.

Titanium™ T25/T28 Turbo Shield

What does the shield do?

Design Engineering shield was designed to decrease lag and reduce engine bay temperatures. With the shield installed, the exhaust gasses in the turbine are less dense. This will increase exhaust velocity, making it easier to move the turbine wheel, creating less turbo lag. It will lower engine bay temperatures, protecting vital under-hood components from the extreme heat, and will provide cooler intake air to be pulled from the engine bay.

Will it fit my turbo?

Design Engineering do not have a complete application list due to the variety and increasing number of turbine housing styles. The T25/T28 Turbo Shield was designed focusing on the Garrett T25/T28 turbine housing with a 5-bolt exducer flange. But since many turbo manufacturers have followed Garrett's lead, DEI considered popular OEM and aftermarket specifications in the design of this shield also. Because of these considerations, the T25/T28 shield fits many OEM turbochargers with integral wastegate. Consider these dimensions when making your decision: outer circumference, 19" and inner width, 2 1/2".
