they fit fine if you got a baily turbo dampner but you need to cable tie the side to the inner wing of it melts

Escos heatshield on a Sapph? Fits fine on 4x4





2wd turbo probably sits in a slightly different position though..

sorry forgot to say i have a 500 turbo hanger and even with the heat shiel cut and bolted to the air box it still sat against the manifold...

4x4 manifold is smaller so maybe why it fitted on a 4x4?
