    Since Adapted Performance was having a discount/sale for the new site I purchased their firewall heat shield. I wasn't sure if it was going to fit my XSPower Turbo manifold with EWG. Turns out it wouldn't. The dump tube (facing downwards) and the extension from the manifold were going to hit the shield or in worst case scenario be rubbing against it.

    So I thought how can I use this? I didn't want it to go to waste and with the aftermarket turbo manifold I couldn't run an OE heat shield. So I ended up bending the AP shield into a shape that would work as a make shift cover. Turns out it fit perfectly! Here are some images. Maybe they could develop a different version which would extend over to the valve cover and use the two valve cover bolts to secure the shield on that side as well.
