Metal turbo shields conduct heat straight to the cold side of the turbocharger, destabilizing boost pressure every time you lift and get back on the throttle. The Heatshield Products Lava Turbo Shield wraps both turbos on your 2011-2020 3.5L EcoBoost F-150 or Explorer in volcanic rock-based insulation, retaining heat inside the turbine housing and blocking up to 60% of turbo-generated radiant heat from reaching surrounding components.
Volcanic rock construction outperforms fiberglass and metal. The rugged outer layer is 25% stronger than fiberglass shields, and the silica contact layer handles continuous temperatures up to 1800°F with intermittent spikes to 2200°F. The exclusive Inferno Core insulation keeps the cold side cooler than metal shields, which is exactly where consistent boost pressure starts.
Boost consistency you can feel. By retaining heat within the turbine housing, the Lava Shield maintains spool characteristics even when pedaling. The result is more predictable throttle response and reduced turbo lag during aggressive or spirited driving.
Precision fit, no trimming required. This kit includes both the left and right side shields, sized specifically for the Ford 3.5L EcoBoost twin-turbo layout. No cutting, no modification to existing hardware, and installation takes minutes on both traditional and V-band turbo housings.
Made in the USA with non-combustible materials. Heatshield Products manufactures this shield domestically. The textile binders may produce light smoke during the first heat cycles after installation, which is normal and stops after the binders cure off. The materials themselves are non-combustible.
