Bowser heatshield on a 1.8
 

Thanks to Pop, I got a great deal on a bowser heatshield.:bigtu: I only had to make a few modifications for it to fit my HKS/t25 setup. I think it turned out pretty darn good.

Looks good!

maybe thats what i need to do, i have been through 2 ATP heatshields...

That does look good. SS is purty. That shield was my inspiration for my DIY sheild- made from the cover panel of my old hvac unit. I had an industrial strength heat blanket over it, but it was stopping air from flowing around the turbo and causing major heat soak in my engine bay. Barbeque black- not SS but it's working so far. - rob

I think I like BBQ black better (?) Weird.

Time to copy some setups.. :)

Glad to see you getting some use out of it rather than bouncing around in my workshop. LOL.. is the "No Parking" sign still attached?

May need a caution here for other turbos or the 1.8. That shield was the original shield first marketed. If you have one bought in the past 4-5 years will notice it sits lower, has less top surface area, and the piece on the side is extended farther forward. It also comes in brushed stainless and shows a lot of polishing time! Unknown if the newer ones will fit as easily on the 1.8.

Yup, I could not remove that part of turbo miata history:gay:
