Turbo heat shield removal?
« on: May 09, 2015, 12:34:56 pm »
How does the heat sheild come off that sits above the turbo and under the back of the stock air box? I've removed the two 13mm bolts and the four 10mm nuts two of which are from the mounting points for the air box.

Any ideas people  :happy2:

Standard heat shield doesn't come off the air box as far as I know

No the heat I'm on about is bolted to the cylinder head that sits over the turbo and the air box mounts are connected to the same head shield so when the air box is on it's sits on top.

Any way there was another two bolts 17mm I think further down so now it's off  :happy2: it had me baffled  :rolleye:
