PTP recently announced their new series of Hybrid™ shields that include turbo, header, exhaust, wastegate designs for different car models. As you're aware, many of us use the traditional PTP turbo blanket made of legacy lava material. Since then PTP has introduced several improvements and new designs for the FK8/FL5/DE5 turbo blanket (OE and aftermarket turbos):
- Lava turbo blanket released in 2017
- Black Lava turbo blanket, released in 2019
- Hybrid turbo blanket, released in early 2022
- Hybrid™ removable turbo shield, limited release 2023
These shields are similar to "hard lag" for the outer layer but utilizes the latest insulation layer from their lava fabric turbo blankets. Combined it controls even more heat. We have noted significantly lower exterior surface temps when comparing PTP's new Hybrid material to the existing lava material.
