TTDA question...>>>

Has anyone tried using a heat shield like the one for the Neuspeed P-Flow with Steve's TTDA?....seems like a good idea for heat reduction, but I can see how it could be a marketing strategy too.

Try sending a note to Steve. I think he has real numbers on thermal soaking and as I recall,

you really aren't going to gain much.

Well........The only thing that helps with is a little reflected heat..>>

From the engine side. Hot air still circulates over and around it to the open filter. A VTDA or TTDA has an integral stainless backer on that end of the filter for heat reflection, plus the filter is encircled by an R14 rated high tech air entrapment insulation with 2 foil reflective layers in a sandwich...
