2004 WRX SPT Turbo Heat Shield Install w/ Pics

As you know SPT has recently come out w/ a new turbo heat shield, which is supposedly on only for 04+ sti and 06+ wrxs but I have it installed on my 2004 WRX. Well it fits on the 04/05 wrx as well. It fits in the spare hole used for the STI intercooler.

The only thing you need for the install is a M8-1.25 x20mm hex flanged cap screw. They come in a 4 pack from Autozone. Below is a pic of the bolt and the container. The pack does say that it is a 12mm head but it is actually a 13mm.

In the first pic you can see where the heatshield mounts as compared to hole for the stock i/c.

Install was a piece of cake. All you do is remove the intercooler and then install the h/s on the spare hole, then reinstalling the i/c.
