Heat Shield vs. Turbo Blanket

I noticed on your build it seems that there's some sort of wrap on the manifold, but only on the top part of the pipes and on the joints?

For reference of others, this looks like it's a shot from underneath the car (or at least underneath the engine as it might not be in the car yet).

Very old pics from about 5 years ago, lots of iterations since then. Need to take some new ones.

The heat shield remains, no loose wrap sheets anywhere on any pipes, only a bag on the turbine housing (currently use a DEI one).

But yes pic from underneath on a dummy engine when I was fabricating and placing parts for welding etc.

the header heat shield is fully sealed to the motor and the turbine flange, takes a fair bit to make it this way and must be done in two pieces, made out of 316 and bolted together and held on top side by EGT bungs on each pipe.

The down pipe shiled is held by the AFR sensor, agian no pics of this only old ones.
