i've seen cars online before with a heatshield that's kinda like the oem one but on a turbo manifold. I really like the idea. I'm wondering is that something someone made or do they sell that? i figured i'd try making one out of some sheet metal, but i only seen like one or two pics and i didn't get to see how it's bolted up. is it bolted to the manifold or what? i'd hate to drill into the manifold, only to see it crack later down the road. thanks for the help in advance!

 

this is the heat sheild i had on my old DD turbo kit. I wanted it very low profile. I used a hf heat sheild and welded some nuts to the manifold to bolt on to.

 

I think he's got the right idea. Weld a nut to the turbo manifold and then just bolt on the heat shield.

 

that's awesome man! i'm glad someone was able to respond. i was thinking about drilling and tapping a thread in the manifold but duhhh i can just tak weld a nut on the manifold and call it done. that's friggin awesome!
