I would probably grab one, i bought my last one from ebay that worked a treat and allowed me to touch it after a serious bit of spirited driving!

If I get enough interest Ill get a group buy going. Ill work out postage, for the size of the item itll be no more than a buck fifty. I'd bubble wrap them (I can get it free!)
Lets see how we go!

Stops the tubby from putting so much heat into the engine bay so heat soak is reduced

What does an SC40 equate to size wise? This will be to fit my VF35 (fingers crossed!!)

The SC40 has the same size exhaust housing as a normal TD05[its the compressor side that's larger] so should fit just fine.

I presume I'd be in the same position with the VF35?

I have one of these wrapped over the PTP one which sits tighter around the turbo. I wanted it to replicate a turbo heat shield over the PTP blanket. Works amazingly well , proper cool. I am interested aswell for my other classic. As long as you realise it's a knock off, all good

That's why it's so cheap Stu
It would fit fine around a vf35

It looks identical to the one I have on the WRX I bought, and I doubt the seller paid Mines money for that one
The PTP and these work well together and are belt and braces turbo heat management.
