IT BEGINS! ka-t

Have to use a long extention and a universal joint. Mine came right off with that combo. Taking it off at the intake mani and plugging the hole there is the best option.

Looking good so far man. Make sure you wrap the MBC or it will melt. A crude barrier can be made from sheet metal and some heat wrap. I'd wrap the entire DP while I was at it as well.

I made one out of the stock heat shield from the KA's exhaust manifold. The stock heat shield is made of 2 layers and I 'think' there is some sort of fiberglass in between them. Hopefully it will work, it's only half way finished. I gotta bash it around a little bit more. But here it is.

Please don't think I'm trying to threadjack. I'll post this on it's own if someone want's it as a sticky. I thought it was a BRILLIANT idea! LoL

DON'T LAUGH!!

Ya I got one of those too but i didn't make it..

I actually bought the one off ebay and surprisingly it fit with no problems.

I figure i would try to contribute to the DIY'ers who are trying to save a buck here and there.

ehh I don't know...I wouldn't really put my trust into something I can't put my hand on. With the turbo blanket, I can put my hand on it. Sure it's hot and I can't leave it on forever, but I can nonetheless. I remember that exhaust manifold heat sheild had a "no touching w/ hand" symbol on it so I don't know how well it will protect the brake master cylinder when it's very close. Great Idea though....I can't believe I didn't think of it at first....

Well, it was designed to be connected TO something that was 800+ degrees or however hot it is. It is no longer connected or attached to anything that hot. Hopefully, it will be sufficient at blocking radiant heat. I hope I said that right..? LoL
