Any 1.0 ecoboost guys out there removed that heat shield from around the turbo?
Thinking about removing it to make the engine bay look a little tidier, I know it serves a good purpose but it can’t cause too much harm removing it for shows/meets though

rly? there’s a reason that thing exists though. use heat wrap instead
As i said i know it serves a purpose but surely taking it off at a meet wouldnt do no harm. Obviously i wouldnt drive around with it off
That’s a busy little turbo, I’d leave well alone myself
Yeah I’m probably going to anyway i like having paint on my bonnet
If i was in your position i would only take it of at meets. Imo a turbo looks much better than some heat shield!
Thats exactly what i was planning on doing, i had exactly the same thought as that
Your car running 140bhp beats stock 180’s?
Aye, don’t know how though think it might have something so with gear ratios but i pulled on my mates st180 up to about 90 and i also beat one at Santa Pod at usc in august by a couple of car lengths
