so i tried placing the stock heatshield over my manifold.. and todd's manifold nicely goes with the stock heatshield design.. i might get it to fit with some trimming..



and some trimming somewhere here


and whats great is that the hood closes even with just sitting this heatshield on top! haha sounds like a next project

 

d*mn, if you could hide that wastegate, would be an awesome sleeper...

Well minus the intercooler... ;P

 

haha i know, i would want the wg to show though for a semi sleeper look.. for a more sleeper black wg + black bov.. my black intercooler is already hard to notice unless you stare at the grills and analyze whats inside

 

and oh i can use a vented hood too without worrying that water would be going to the manifold and turbo

 

true true... when my kit was on, I had the VRD grills, and I've been asked if I had an intercooler or not, and told them to look again!

 

If you want it to look clean, this is always an option from ATP Turbo. I bought one, and love it!

i have one of that, i need to modify it fit.. but the heatshield should help with the manifold

 

haha ACE that looks so funny...(not in a bad way haha def a great idea) but it looks like you have stock header...and than a wastegate attatched to it haha people will b like wtf?? hmm haha

 

exact same one i got and i had to modify it as well as make a bracket for it.

 

 

Mine fit perfect on my GARRETT. No fabbing required! You did a really good job of making that slot for the oil feed line. You cant even tell that it didn't come like that. Oh, side note, my turbine housing is also jet hot coated.

 

yaa that cover is really nicee and it doesnt even look like u did anything to it for that feed line to like raptor said it came out great

 

thanks guys...but yeah thats not the only piece i cut out of it...becouse of the stock fans and how the turbo sits i had to cut a little out of the bottom...not much but just enough...its almost like they sent me a shield for a larger turbo because ther was nooooo way i could get that bracket to bolt on...i had to make my own bracket that would bolt on to the bracket that came with it...all in all i think it was well worth it...it looks nice and fits just the way i want it to...lol

 

so i decided to just use a manifold blanket instead of the stock heat shield.. i really dont want to be welding studs on my pretty manifold.. it did a good job keeping engine bay temp down.. doesnt look too bad either.

 

doesnt really look bad at all ace

 

cant wait to get my turbo blanket.. this manifold blanket is good stuff i could use the rest of the material to wrap part of the downpipe that is close to the intercooler pipe. but is this one of those wraps that that can cause warping?

 

idk....im sure youll let us know though....lmao

 

lol.. this manifold/dp wraps, what are they made off? is it same material as those used on turbo blanket?

 

i forget ace...i think its some sort of ceramic fiber or fiber glass mix...not real sure.

 

arent they fiberlass
