The M7 Nano Ceramic Turbo Heat shield is designed to fit over the stock turbo using pre-existing mounting points. It's lined with a custom nano ceramic thermal blanket to minimize the heat flowing to the rest of the engine bay. The insulating material has amazing heat rejection qualities. It is the same material and blanket construction used on all NASCAR and endurance race cars who generate huge amounts of heat at very high temperatures for sustained periods of time. That is why we have chosen KOOLMAT material. IT IS PROVEN AND IT WORKS!

Fits the following models with the N18 engine:

2011-2013 R56 Cooper S Hatchback
2011-2014 R55 Cooper S Clubman
2011-2014 R57 Cooper S Convertible
2012-2014 R58 Cooper S Coupe
2012-2014 R59 Cooper S Roadster

The 2007-2010 N14 engine uses a different heat shield from the 2011-2013 N18 engine, select accordingly.

The M7 Turbo Heat shield is better than anything else on the market for a number of reasons:

  • It does not completely encase the turbocharger as some have assumed (the turbocharger hot section is actually fully wrapped in its own, factory installed heat shield). The OEM heat shield is ineffective at preventing long term hood paint and hood scoop damage.
  • The M7 Turbo Heat Shield is open on three sides allowing heat to escape down and away from the turbo. Heat rejection is enhanced by the air flow through the radiator. The majority of radiant heat that wants to rise will be reflected down and away from the hood by the M7 insulating heat shield.
  • Nano Ceramic is a proven thermal insulator which reduces the rate of heat transfer through it, thus making it a perfect way to keep turbo heat from reaching the rest of the engine bay and your hood and hood scoop.
  • All material will heat soak when exposed to higher temperatures (due to hard driving) and all material will eventually heat up. The factory installed heat shield has a limited ability to insulate the the hood from the turbo heat. Thus, the addition of the M7 Turbo Heat Shield is a huge benefit as it adds a second high performance layer of heat protection and will delay the time it takes for the destructive heat to harm your scoop, hood paint and heat soak the engine compartment
  • The M7 heat shield is a very simple installation using 2 easily accessible factory holes. Installation of the M7 Turbo Heat Shield DOES NOT require you to remove the bolts to the engine's cam cover.
  • The addition of the M7 Turbo Heat shield adds a finished look to your engine compartment for that added WOW! effect with the Mirror Polished finish or the Matte Black finish when you show off your MINI to friends or at a local car show.
  • Used as an additional layer of protection to your hood and hood scoop. Designed as a second layer of defense as is to be used in conjunction with the factory turbo heat shield and not as a replacement.

The M7 Turbo Heat shield is black powder coated heavy gauge aluminum to giving it a sleek, OEM appearance. All necessary mounting hardware is included. Using pre-existing mounting points in the engine bay eliminates the need to drill or add extra brackets. 15-25 minutes is the most you'll need!

NOTE:  Compatible with factory original turbo's only.
