MAP Notes

Helps to figure out which map you should be on given the parts installed to your car 

1. Using a 13mm socket remove the top two turbo mounting bolts holding the top of the heat shield in place.
   
   
   
   
   
2. Remove the 13mm bolt holding the damper on to the engine mount.  While not strictly necessary, it does give you a little bit more room to try and get the lower heat shield bolt out.
   
       
   
   
   
3. Remove the T-25 lower bolt attaching the heat shield in place.  If it stripped like ours, removing the motor mount will allow additional room to get in there and work at getting it off of the car.

1. This is how your blanket will sit over the turbo, slide the lower section under the wastegate bracket and up around the back towards the front.

2. Once it's about in place loop a piece of wire around the lower rivet in order to more easily pull it up around the bottom of the turbo.

5. Now tuck the corners under the bolts and you're done!  Alternatively you can also re-install the factory heat shield, but depending on where the fabric is bundled, it may not fit any longer.

Important Notes

While not flammable on their own, if any sort of flammable chemical gets into the fiber of the turbo blanket, it may be possible for a fire to occur.  It is recommended to replace the turbo blanket if ANY flammable chemicals, liquids, or materials get on the blanket.
