Started working on a heat shield for the turbo. This is a trimmed up piece from a Mercedes S-class that sat near the fuel tank. It's kind of nice because the bump in the piece fit almost perfectly around the turbo and just needed to be bent a little for the wastegate rod. Had to do a lot of cutting behind to get it to bend down behind the downpipe, but unfortunately the clearance in 2 spots back there is so close I'll have to build a second shield to block off the whole Brake Booster and master Cylinder area. I want this shield to be easily removable if I need to quickly service the turbo nuts or studs in case of something coming loose.
