My homemade turbo heatsheild and works therm housing
The std headsheild wouldnt fit with the new turbo and fittings so i decided to make my own 
is really sturdy and looks pretty cool if i may say so
also shown is a new works thermostat housing, more fittings and a new Tarcal GGR header tank and swirl pot
(breater is slanted as its not fixed to the wing yet)
once the new engine is fitted, it should be finished!

i think all the aftermarket ally heat sheilds look a bit tacky/wank. I spose in this case, simplest is the best?
i have had to bar think automotives number from all my phones

Dave,
the thermostat housing has had all the sd push on lugs cut off and JIC fittings fitted. It also has quick release fittings and inside, the hole directly in front of the thermostat has been blanked to aid constant temps. Very cool
i shall replace the front therm seal, ill prob ring GGR as they are pretty good for bits like that.
havent got the new rad switch yet.. its next on my list.. im toying with the idea of getting an ally rad anyway

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Looking good 
Bit of advise regarding the heatsheild, take it off and put some aluminised heat resistant cloth on the side nearest the turbo, Think Auto sell this (AGC2 is the one you want, 1 metre is more than enough). Use some contact adhesive to bond the pieces together then trim the excess. At the moment you have a heat transfer device
Also to tidy up the coil wiring you could use some heat shrink (the type with glue inside) to cover the blue connectors, looks better and stops water getting into where the wire and connector join

cheers Wes, good point re the heatproofing, but i was already going to sort that the above piccies are pre assembly
Spiky, the box is a 'gordon spooner semi dog' but your guess is as good as mine!
i suspect std!
