Product Description
Keep under-hood temps in check and protect critical wiring and the firewall on your 3rd-gen Cummins. The Industrial Injection 228701 Aluminum Turbo Heat Shield mounts to the cowl to deflect radiant heat from the turbo area, helping reduce heat-soak during towing, hot-weather driving, and performance use.
- Deflects turbo and manifold radiant heat away from the firewall & electrical
- Aluminum construction; lightweight and corrosion resistant
- Good for radiant heat up to ~2000°F (with paired barriers/blankets)
- Direct cowl/firewall mount; works with most turbo kits
- Clean, finished look in the engine bay

Is this the full kit or the shield only?This listing is for the heat shield only version (228701). If you want a complete kit with finish and hardware, consider the 228707 (raw) or 228708 (gloss black) kit options.
Do I need additional heat protection for heavy towing?For frequent towing or high EGT builds, add an aluminized heat barrier sheet behind the shield and consider a turbo blanket and manifold blanket for best results.
