I've had GREAT luck with my solution. I bought the following kit for around $36:

I didn't install it as pictured. The kit comes with an inner 2000° coated fiberglass sheet (perhaps 12"X18"), then it also comes with a large (maybe 18"x36") 1000° outer fiberglass sheet with a foil layer. I wrapped the turbo in the inner coated fiberglass layer folded in half for double thickness. I then used the fiberglass/foil piece is doubled and used for the liner of my heat shield.
It's easy to remove to get to the turbo if I need. I just used some left over diamond plate scrap, a MIG to weld the shield, and some pop-rivets to attach the fiberglass to the shield.

There's a reason nasa uses it on junk floating in space.
for now though, the shiny aluminum tape will do almost as well. much cheaper at homedeep too.
