This one wasn't that hard. Less than a buck of sheet metal, and two hours. All you need is cutters, a bender, a shrinking tool, and a cold beer for after your done.
It's really weird, but this stupid turbo shield makes more people walk over to my car at car shows, then any of the thousand doller parts that I've put on this sled. I was going to pollish it out, but after I got done sanding it with 400 grit, I decided to just leave it alone. In fact, I liked the brushed look so much, that I brushed many of my other aluminum parts to match. I guess that I never was a big fan of chrome under the hood. When I was a young hotroder in high school, there was an old saying, "If you can't make it go fast, CHROME IT". This thing weighs almost nothing. I put it on my car when I first got my TA-61 turbo at least six years ago. It now sits on top of my GT 62-65 dbl BB water cooled hair dryer.
I figured that if I'm going to cover up this nice looking of a turbo, it better be with something good.
Happy spooling.
