Description
Universal 4-Inch Turbo Inlet Protection with CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Aluminum Construction
Protect your turbocharger investment with the PLM Billet Turbo Shield Guard Velocity Stack Screen Filter, a premium solution designed to prevent large debris, foreign objects, and unwanted contaminants from entering the compressor wheel while maintaining excellent airflow characteristics.
Manufactured in-house by Private Label Mfg. (PLM), this turbo shield is precision CNC-machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum using advanced 5-axis CNC machining technology. The true one-piece billet design provides exceptional strength, lightweight performance, and long-term durability without the risk of cracking, warping, or deterioration found in lower-quality materials.
The integrated velocity stack design functions like an air horn, creating a smoother and more consistent transition of incoming air into the compressor inlet. This helps improve airflow efficiency at high velocities while maintaining a clean and professional appearance in the engine bay.
Perfect for applications where a traditional cone air filter cannot fit or for enthusiasts who want to maintain a minimalist engine bay look, the PLM Billet Turbo Shield adds both function and premium billet styling to any turbocharged build.
