Big shield under the turbo... necessary?

[TType84]

What do you guys think? I have an ATR up pipe so.. the turbo is ON THERE... its not moving anywhere...

is it supposed to be a heat shield right? the turbo motion kits cut big holes in the thing anyway.. i dont have a heater so thats not in the way..

What do you guys think?

are you talking about that black shield on the side of the ac/heat that goes under the turbo?

the huge thick iron thing that hides the injectors, bolts to the intake bolts, the turbo rests in it, the part thats missing from my picture , yes

you might want to make something to help retain the turbo.
someone installed a turbo previously on my car and ground that
bracket and the turbo kept cocking under boost and would blow the adapter lower o-ringout of the intake.may not happen to you .

nick where did you get the braided oil line?
thanks andy

braided line was $15 at a dirt track shop nearby... if you find one they should have stuff like that around, in a few lengths.. stock metal line was a PITA to get to fit.

Shouldnt be hard to fab something for one or two of those studs from the exhaust housing to bolt to just to help anchor the thing. Although, between the stud on the compressor housing bolted to its bracket from the intake and the uppipe bolted to the pass. header I dont know if it would be likely to move anyway.

Hey Nick, what alternator is that!?
