Hi guys, wondering if someone would be kind enough to help me out, i am after fabricating a heat shield to cover my turbo similar to the evoms one for my intake. I have some metal kicking about and figued it wont be that hard to make.

So would anyone be willing to take some dimentions for me or even draw me a quick sketch?  :smiley:

Cheers, Matt

matty_jetta:
anyone? there will be a drink or something in it for you at the next meet/show

You need to take the anchor measurements from the engine cover mounts nearest the MAF housing. You'll have to take the engine cover off to get the measurements

Here's a quick pic of the EVOM's one showing where it mounts. :happy2:

matty_jetta:
oh so the actual engine cover studs get removed and i use these to hold the new cover down?

Think i will try making a cardboard template, obviously with a cold engine  :grin:

Thanks for the picture Hurdy.

Anyone else got pictures showing the heat shield in all its glory?

matty_jetta:
Well guys, i have now mocked up a heat shield in card, will transfer it to my sheet metal tomorrow, pretty straight forward. Worst bit was getting the engine cover mount bolts out, they are a multi-splined 24mm deep socket, where the hell do you get one of them? :rolleye:

Any way wondering if bbq paint would work in this area? I know it gets super hot so anyone got ideas for what kind of paint?

Hope im not just posting to myself in this thread   :sad1:
