I was given the opportunity to get a stainless steel heatshield from rustyarchs and ive managed to get it fitted so thought i would post some pics,

tried to show the word turbo that was engraved on it (you can see it just barely as the flash from the camera hides it):

finally last shot with hoses all connected etc:

for thos who dont know or havent fitted one, its very easy just undo the bolts holding the metal rail/pipe thats running above the manifold.
Then just slide the heat shield behind the hangers then bolt backup. simple

It may look a bit out of place in my "bay" but thought id show how much it stands out. Any comments appreciated.

Big thanks to rusty archs for supplying the said item!

looks good mate, where is your battery though?

Massive thanks to Rusty for mine as well. It really is a very good quality product. Couple of pics of the said engraving.

A good simple and effective mod. A word of advise though, when removing your crossover pipe, you should always cover the turbo inlet with something or stuff a rag into the pipe - if you ever drop anything down there you will be cursing!

my car is still in hibernation from the winter so no battery in it. i now realise why i couldnt show the wording of turbo as i was taking pics in the dark duh lol. i should of taken them in the light

i do cover the inlet with an old rag but i couldnt take pictures with the rag in place it would steal the show! :lol:
