I have on on my low mount dont see why they shouldnt work but they are usually on high mounts for convenience issues.

So i think you should have no problems with one but id someone says otherwise on here, then take their word over mine. i recomend you get a ceramic laced one instead of the other materiels they usually offer (cant think of what its called atm). btw, im no pro- this is purely from experience pinch.gif

You can barely see the low mount :P Especially a tiny little stock turbo haha.

I had the stock shielding on my old stocker, but painted it up with some nice glossy black paint. Looked the part, and dont have to worry about the possibility of a fire if theres an oil leak onto the blanket.

Not 100% sure on the fitment of them, as i was looking for one for my GT30, but i struggled to find one that would accommodate an internal wastegate. They all seem to have tiny rears on them for external setups :(

If you get one, go quality. Theres nothing worse than chucking cheap flammable material on the turbo haha. "Cool Turbo Blankets" on Ebay have great reviews and a lifetime guarantee.

+ 1 for stock shield just paint it will look good. half the purpos of highflowing a turbo is for the stock look with power will also help keep the popo away. they wont see a aftermaket part and think what else does he have in his import

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
