My heatshield on the manifold has seen much better days, does anyone know how much they are new? is there anywhere i can get them from other than main dealer?

Car is a MY00 uk turbo

Just use heat wrap, better and also cheaper.

Never heard of that, i have standard manifolds ported and wrapped by Harvey, been A ok for the last 4 years and still going strong

More than likely if you want to do a proper job, wire brush them like crazy and spray them with plenty wd40 a few days prior to doing the job.

standard headers are fine to be wrapped. As 347uk says, lots of wd, or just brake the heat shields off like i did in the end nuts were shagjed.

And yes get them ported as with the up pipe.

Oh and before i forget get a good quality heat wrap, as i bought some and now its falling off.

Wet the wrap and wear gloves. If you don't you will regret it you'll itch for days
