Bottom mount intake heat shield

Mine went in fine, just clean up the edges where it pushes into the core support and plastic and your golden. Well worth the $40 or however much it was
Hey, that is pretty neat, do you have more photos? The one thing that becomes interesting with this, is the concept of a C02 sprayer on the FMIC. People avoid it because it can contaminate the intake tract, but this would effectively isolate it while on the move? @Twisted Tuning @Chris@VargasTurboTech
I'm pretty sure that is the normal size, it also has an 'extension' snout thing but its a separate part.
The extension does not fit because of the AC line and fitting. There are some models and years out the that have both of the AC fittings back by the firewall though. So, if yours are back there, it might fit.
Hard to say. The idea of a CO2 sprayer is good at first glance but tends to look worse the more serious you get about it. Still prob has a place for some people.
I had to lengthen it. And trim the duct opening a bit for it to fit
Im using a speedtech kit as well. I made a small heat shield out of OEM material. It curls perfectly over the exhaust housing, which will also be covered in a turbo blanket. The two combined will trap heat down low, which tends to be better ventilated by air turbulence. At least thats my .02 on it.
I might do a second one where the oem shield/solenoid bolted up. I'll wait untill I see signs of scorching before I do that though. The silicone inlet sits quite close to the manifold as you know. At least our manifolds are thick ass cast, not tubes measured by gauge. So we have that going for us for sure. It would take a cheap ass bbq temp gauge with an extended wire to see if there's a big difference in whether it be at idle, or driving.

This would be fine with a spraybar. For one simple reason. Spraybars are meant to be used while staging, not while driving. Use it to stage freeze the intercooler and by time you're ready for the pass any CO2 remnant have already passed.
