SR swap Done!!!!!

I just finish doing the SR swap and man was it a pain in my azz.....First of all i dont know much motors and second nor i know much about SR. I am very proud to say i swapped it and did everything on my own even the wiring harness.
i'll get some pics up soon
One question.....Why do you have to take the heatshelid off the trubo?

Congratulations on your install!! Glad to hear someone doing the swap themselves. About the heat shield, probably cause it would hit the steering arm or something. Not to change subject, but dont be surprised if mods put this under off-topic, it seems like an off-topic thing. Anyway, good job and post some pics when you can

We also removed the heatshield from the bottom of the turbo. This shield can contact the steering shaft under cornering loads, possibly locking the steering.
Thats why just found that
