Why no heat shield on the MY03's turbo?
or was mine a Friday car?
I think i'm correct in saying the earlier cars had a sheild around the turbo to protect the top up bottles close by? Looking at mine it doesnt have one. Any reason for this?

It should have a heat sheild and I would say MUST have a heat shield as that corner of the intercooler will toast without it which means higher charge temps which means det (possibly) which means ...
Its just pure laziness to not refit it, ok so they have to trim it a bit but that takes maybe 5 mins of anyones time.
Go back and insist, the car is arguably even more at risk without it.

Still, at least it was warm enough earlier on for me to complete the front de-tangonisation.

When the PPP kit is fitted to the 03sti they have to cut away some of the heatsheild to make it fit back on. It must be fitted cos it gets dam hot around there without it.
