I Need A Heat Sheild For A TD05 ?
Just received one of Andy F's TD05 20G today to replace my TD04 on the newage. Dont really want to wrap the turbo, does anyone have any other ideas regarding a heat sheild alternative? Can you buy these things? Seen a COBB one in the USA but dont think it will fit my car!
Thanks |

the standard one fits back on over an 05/06 an the 97-00 cars, how about fitting one of them?
here is one fitted to an 05/06 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/10...v/CIMG0045.jpg |
Is it an easy fit ? My car is an 03
|
as far as i can remember i cut the back out for the open neck downpipe an it bolted straight on!
|
I have the standard one on my tdo5 16, the bit that gets covered is no bigger on the 20g, so with a bit of a tweak for the actuator arm it should fit back on.....

Just out of interest where does the sheild bolt to? Is it the turbo housing? |
the back of the turbo has a bracket which is held on by 2 of the downpipe nuts and bolts, and also the bracket that holds the turbo in place under the turbo itself.... the heatshield bolts to those...

:) Thanks, Yes it does fit, my mechanic fitted it with ease today back to my car. He may have modded it a little to suit but it looks like the oem sheild went back on ok to me with no unsightly bits hanging off. Well chuffed!!
