GrimmSpeed Turbo Heat Shield Reflect-A-Gold Foil Direct Fit V2 Heat Shield
$53.00

If you’re looking to keep your intercooler running cool and efficient, you might want to check out this heat shield upgrade. We all know that adding a heat shield to your turbo setup is a smart move to help lower those under-hood temps and boost intercooler performance. But here’s the kicker: standard heat shields are made of metal, which means they can soak up heat and pass it on to everything around them. Not ideal, right?

That’s where the DEI Reflect-A-Gold Foil comes into play. We at GrimmSpeed took a good look at our heat shields and thought, “How can we make this even better?” So, we came up with this nifty, pre-cut, fiberglass-backed gold foil that sticks right onto your heat shield. It’s designed to reflect radiant heat instead of absorbing it, which is a game-changer for keeping your engine bay cooler.

Installation is a breeze. The Reflect-A-Gold foil is CNC cut and CAD-designed specifically for our Version 2 Heat Shield. All you need to do is apply it to the inside of the shield, and voila! You’ve added an extra layer of protection against that pesky heat coming from the turbo. It’s like giving your heat shield a superhero cape.

Quick Specs

  • Boosts heat shield efficiency by reflecting radiant heat
  • CNC-cut and CAD-designed for a perfect fit with the GrimmSpeed V2 Heat Shield
  • Constructed with a gold front, fiberglass center, and adhesive backing
  • Resistant to radiant heat up to 800°F
  • Made right here in the USA

We put this setup to the test to see just how effective it really is. Using a FLIR C2 Thermal Imaging Camera, we measured the surface temperature of a GrimmSpeed STI TMIC after driving a set loop that included both low-speed and highway driving. We kept everything consistent—same day, same path, and the same amount of wide-open throttle, all in 20°F weather.

Here’s what we found: the GrimmSpeed V2 Turbo Heat Shield alone already cuts surface temperatures by over 20% compared to running without a shield. Add the Reflect-A-Gold foil, and that improvement jumps another 10%. If you go with the black ceramic-coated heat shield, you’re looking at a heat reduction of over 32%. Couple that with the gold foil, and you’re hitting a staggering 36% reduction in heat! That’s some serious performance enhancement.

Fitment

This Reflect-A-Gold foil is pre-cut specifically to fit the GrimmSpeed Version 2 Turbo Heat Shield, part numbers 092007/092008. So, if you’ve got that setup, you’re all set!

In short, if you’re serious about keeping your intercooler cool and your engine bay running efficiently, this heat shield upgrade is a solid move. It’s straightforward, effective, and just makes sense for anyone looking to get the most out of their turbo setup.
