Speedmonkee Turbo Heatshields
PROTECT your Top Mount intercooler from turbo heat!
Ok Gang,
Here is our first prototype heatshield. For all you guys who changed your downpipes and can't and won't put back that ugly OEM shield back on, here is the elegant bling bling solution, a genuine Speedmonkee Heatshield. PROTECT your Top Mount intercooler from turbo heat!
The prototype is made of stainless steel and attaches with a single bolt. This most likely will resemble the standard production version. Also coming is the TITANIUM version and our ultimate version - with a chimney to vent rising hot air at idle to the hood scoop AND also force cool air downward at speed.
UPDATE
One other thing. I've been getting a few questions about the other side that faces the intercooler... YES, it drops down at an angle and then vertically to protect heat from rising from the underside of the intercooler. The piece is laser cut to exact measurements, so that fitting it in can be done without removal of the stock intercooler. This will be a 3 minute install! Chimney version maybe a little more tricky, but more details will follow later.
Pricing is $75 for the standard Stainless version. I expect first batch to arrive in 2 weeks. Production versions will be laser cut 16 ga stainless steel.
I thought I'd let you guys in the latest new ideas here in our garage!
Please let us know what you think.
I'll be taking pre-production order deposits this week. Should have the first batch in about a week or so. If you are interested, please contact me.
The first 15 customers to purchase will automatically get free shipping.
thanks,
Jeremy, Chief Monkey

Looks like it should work
I would like to see the stainless version with the chimney.
Have you done any temperature measurements: before and after? Cause if it's just bling..... I'd like something that helps with underhood heat.
Count me as a 'first 15'. What is going to be the prices?

pricing not yet available
Hey Everyone,
thanks for the feedback and the interest so far
PRICING
I am still waiting on pricing from my engineer/production. So hang in there. Most likely it will be based on volume. If I don't get a huge response, naturally, it will be higher cost per item.
Mkitchen. I am trying to get a temp probe in there this week. It would be interesting to find out ambient temps at the intercooler before and after. Will let you know if we get one in there. also, the chimney version will be about 2 weeks more before I can get you any pics. Its still in the design phase. Has to integrate well with the stock scoop.
