Turbo Heat Shield Installation
- Hand install one of the supplied 10mm bolts along with a washer into the lower up-pipe/turbo support bracket.
- Slide the heat shield into place with the cutout over the loosened bolt on the lower mount.
- Loosely install the other two bolts on the top and inside of the heat shield.
- Slide the heat shield around a little bit to make sure the wastegate arm isn't hitting the bracket and then tighten down each bolt with a 10mm socket.
- Reinstall the intercooler in the reverse order of removal.
- Go out and enjoy!
