[DeTomaso] Insulation material?

Jerry, 
I've found the best way to keep turbo heat away from a painted surface that is 
so close as your 2" would be to use a 
preformed turbo hugging insulation cover that is ceramic cloth inner lined                                     with a hard ceramic plate shield that is elevated above the turbos 
and close to parallel to your painted surface.

Your hard plate will be the last real defense against the heat and will allow air 
to pass between the plate and your painted panels-very important! 
You can then apply aluminum faced extruded ceramic cloth or another ceramic plate to your inner body surface for its reflective values with epoxied to body screw supports or tinnerman 
clip studs that keep said plate off the bodies surface for another air flow or insulation boundary.

Next would be ceramic coating all exhaust and turbos and using air ducts to flush area.

Basically holding heat back while flushing the heated area with air will save your painted body.

Keep cool, 

Jeff

   Jerry,

   I've found the best way to keep turbo heat away from a painted surface
   that is

   so close as your 2" would be to use a

   preformed turbo hugging insulation cover that is ceramic cloth inner
   lined                                     with a hard ceramic plate
   shield that is elevated above the turbos

   and close to parallel to your painted surface.

   Your hard plate will be the last real defense against the heat and will
   allow air

   to pass between the plate and your painted panels-very important!

   You can then apply aluminum faced extruded ceramic cloth or another
   ceramic plate to your inner body surface for its reflective values with
   epoxied to body screw supports or tinnerman

   clip studs that keep said plate off the bodies surface for another air
   flow or insulation boundary.

   Next would be ceramic coating all exhaust and turbos and using air
   ducts to flush area.

   Basically holding heat back while flushing the heated area with air
   will save your painted body.

   Keep cool,

   Jeff

     After a short trip yesterday I noticed one of my turbos was leaking

     oil.  A small amount on the input (pressure) side.  A quick
     tightening

     and it was fine.  I did notice a small paint bubble on the deck
     directly

     above the turbo.  There is about 2 inches clearance about the turbos
     but

     the deck was really hot to the touch.

     Question.  I am looking for a product that can be applied (as a
     sheet or

     thin blanket) to the underside of the deck above the turbo.  I have
     some

     chromed sheet metal shields that I may be able to fit to the turbos
     but

     would like the real protection of an insulator.

     Thanks in advance to the "collective",
