Stock Component Removal

Remove your intercooler

It may be worth spraying down the bolts with a penetrating oil and allowing them to sit for a little while in order to allow them to come lose more easily without any breakage.

Using your 10mm socket remove the two bolts from the driver's side of the heat shield.
Followed down by the one on the rear passenger's side.
And the two low down near to the passenger's side frame rail.
With those items removed you can now remove the heatshield from the car.

It may require re-clocking the transmission dipstick in order to have the clearance needed to remove the heatshield easily.
Now is a good time to check out the heat shield bracket as the factory units are quite prone to cracking and damage. Replace yours as needed.

Turbo Blanket Installation

The cut-out shown at the top of the blanket should match up with the wastegate arm area of the turbo. Go ahead and attach one end of the wire to the rivet shown to be on the upper right side. It should be tight enough not to fall off, but over-tightening may cause the wire to break.
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.

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.
