My brother and I picked up 2 of these. It looks like it would be pretty straight forward. How long should I expect installing this? Will I have to relieve fuel pressure or deal with raw fuel?

 

im sure there's a diy for this on 8thgen

This is the DIY I followed to do mine. It's pretty straight forward. It took that guy about 5 hours to do his, but it only took me a little less than 3 hours. It could be done even faster if you know what you're doing.

 

What are the benefits to this heat shield? does it just insulated the IM?

 

It will reduce operating temps to the intake manifold there for instantly increasing HP its def a worth while Mod

 

1 VERY IMPORTANT task to do when you do this is to torque your intake manifold bolts to oem specs.

I didnt and my motor is in need of bottom end work now.
