Tried searching and looked through peoples profiles with upgraded turbo's but i couldnt find the anwser to my question which is very simple...

To the people running 20g turbo's what turbo heat shield are you using? I was gonna buy an spt heatshield but then i realized i dont know if it will fit, i recall some guy on nasioc had to sell his for his new turbo but not sure if it was a 20g or not.

try to modify the stock one first.

You dont have to run a heatshield. Personally I dont feel that they really do a whole lot but if I were you I would definatly try modding the stock one like JAVE suggested!

so you all think the stock one can still fit? can it fit with an spt heat shield also? i was planning on buying it as well

Sorry ... I'm confused ... why would you want both ?

why not run both? the spt turbo heat shield was made to run ontop of the stock heat shield

Weird ?! Didnt know that?!

yea the spt mounts to the intercooler bolt so unless you have a really really really big turbo or some werid external wg setup i think the spt should fit

you could jsut make one though took me about 30 minutes to make one with no special tools get a piece of aluminum and get to it

Just mod the stock one, a little bending and cutting and you will be fine.

The SPT is fine. I Just put mine on in 10 mins. It blocks the turbo heat from heating up the intercooler.

i have had my turbo heat shield off since i got my stage 2 tune like 3 months ago is this ok? the tune is VERY conservative and i dont beat on the car at all! im putting the modified stock heat shield on tomorrow but i just wanted to make sure! all it really does it stop heat soak in the tmic right?
