Any ideas on how I can wrap or heat shield this turbo elbow?

The radiant heat off this elbow bubbled the paint on my hood last year, I can't find any blanket products for elbows like that. Any ideas?

Ceramic coating like Jet Hot on the part. Some adhesive silver or gold sheet from DEI on the body.

Another turbo blanket

Have it cerakoted. Allegedly it can reduce heat by up to 30%. I have noticed a difference after cerakoting headers so it's worth a shot. Hood insulation could help too if you don't have any.

Maybe a smaller turbo diaper would be able to work for that bend

It may be worth putting gold heat reflective tape on the panels near the 90 and on the hood
Never used it myself but I've seen it on other builds

Use a smaller turbo blanket like for a t25 sized turbo
