Turbo/Brake master heat shield removal
I have removed my IM and will be removing my crossover pipe for a clutch replacement. I am going through my engine bay and doing a complete clean. I want to chrome the heat shield and was hoping it can be removed with the turbo still installed. Can this be done. I know there are 4 bolts but not sure where they are or how to get to them.

Yes, it can be removed with the turbo still intact. You have 2 bolts from the top that are easy and 2 at the bottom. One is next to the frame rail nd the other the firewall. They are most likly 10 mm.

Just a word of caution, I would have that sheild polished, zinc plated, or powder coated the color of the car. Chroming often not a good idea when your trying to reduce heat.
