Turbo Blanket Installation
| Note |
|---|
While we show what we feel is the simplest and most secure way of wrapping the wire and using springs to secure the turbo blanket there are many different possibilities and options that will work. Just make sure you aren't interfering with the wastegate or any other moving parts. |
- Start working the blanket around the exhaust housing of the turbocharger starting by working it under the wastegate arm.
- Now tuck the other side down around the turbo and under the bracket.
- Using pliers, hook the spring onto one side of the rivet, then work it around over to the other side under the up-pipe flange before latching it over the other side.
- If using safety wire pliers, twist the wire on the rear rivet to an appropriate length.to reach the other side. If you're using normal hand tools do your best to get the wire secured tightly to the initial rivet.
- Attach it tightly to the otherside either routing the wire underneath the downpipe or underneath the up-pipe if you so desire. (not between the flanges to block the gasket though).
- Now that you're done you can put the heat shield back on if you so desire.
- You're all done! Go out and enjoy!
