2008 Outback XT Turbo heat shield brackets needed


Recommended Posts

I just finished putting a new engine into an Outback I purchased. It had a trashed motor in it, and the previous owner started to take it apart, then decided it was beyond his scope of abilities. I did get everything except some mounting brackets for the turbo heat shield. Is there a drawing somewhere that shows these, or might one of you folks on the forum have these from a scrapped car?

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

I run both a blanket and the OEM shield on my RX-RA.

How does this work? Factory heat shield then the blanket over the top? 

Seems like that would be a super tight fit for the blanket. 

Cheers

I was working on my car and noticed that the bottom half of the Turbocharger Mount Heat Shield Bracket was just sitting there disconnected from everything, and probably a source of a lot of the noise I'm hearing these days, so I pulled it out. How critical is this? Can I operate without it? If so, for how long?
