LaMamelle Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Howdy! I've seen in the manual, and photos of other EA82Ts that they all have this heatshield/cooling funnel that shoots air from the bonnet of an XT right to the turbo. And I only noticed that was missing, just now. I assume this won't cause the car to explode if I don't have it, but I also assume that these are about as easy to find as a needle in a haystack. Does anyone have any recommendations for a 3rd party option? Will any fitting heat shield or sock suffice? Or is it even necessary, since the turbos not exactly the largest one out there. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago A turbo beanie will probably suffice. Or you could fold up some sheet metal to do the same thing the original chimney did in the first place. I have an STi converted SF forester that’s a sleeper - built by a mate. This does not have a bonnet scoop, rather it sports a turbo beanie and a water to air intercooler. The paint on the bonnet is not effected and I dare say it’s seen more heat than your EA82t will ever generate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
