The HeatShield Thermal Spring Mounting Kit is an essential accessory for automotive enthusiasts and mechanics looking to securely fasten heat shields to turbochargers or exhaust manifolds. Designed for high-heat environments, these springs offer a reliable tension-based mounting solution that prevents rattling and displacement. While they are engineered for durability, users should note that they require specific anchor points on the shield and housing to function effectively, making them less suitable for custom shields lacking appropriate mounting holes.

This kit includes 2 springs.
Yes, they are designed as a universal mounting solution, provided your heat shield has the necessary mounting holes or tabs.
No, they are specifically manufactured to withstand the high-temperature environment of an engine bay.
A pair of needle-nose pliers is highly recommended to safely stretch and hook the springs during installation.
Springs provide constant tension that allows for thermal expansion and contraction, whereas fixed straps may loosen or snap as components grow under high heat.
Ensure the spring is hooked into a secure anchor point; if the mounting hole is too wide, consider using a washer or a secondary bracket to create a tighter fit.
Use long-reach needle-nose pliers and wear safety glasses to maintain control of the spring tension throughout the hooking process.
The spring may be under-tensioned; verify that the anchor points are correctly positioned to pull the shield taut against the housing.
To install, loop one end of the spring through the mounting hole of your heat shield. Use needle-nose pliers to extend the spring and hook the opposite end into the corresponding anchor point on your turbo or manifold shroud. Always ensure the springs are under sufficient tension but not overstretched, as excessive force can cause the material to lose its spring rate. Periodically inspect the springs during routine oil changes to ensure they remain hooked and have not lost tension due to prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. If you notice sagging in your heat shield, the springs may need to be replaced if they show signs of becoming permanently deformed.
