mmmmspecb Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Duh, did you call Bryan yet ? Ask him. Haven't yet but I will. Figured I would ask here first since 100''s of these have been through the community already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but don't you think Brian would know what goes into the turbos more than the consumers? People here are just going to guess since they don't actually know what it's even used for.

Oh well. I'll attach a pic later tonight when I get home anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkhousman Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Just looked at my BNR 16g as it is still on the shelf, didn't see any white stuff on any of the blades just what looks like a #2 on one of the inlet blades in sharpie.

I guess I'll find out soon enough. Yes, you will be able to retain the bracket. It relies on the top two bolt holes on the turbo, which need to be identical to stock so the turbo mates with existing DPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 So it (GS Shield) would work with the new BNR housing I presume is the question? - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now to iron out stupid issues that have been bugging me before putting this bad boy in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fahr_side Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 You need to trim the OEM heatshield anyway if you have an aftermarket DP... ...and there isn't an aftermarket DP out there with the brackets needed to secure the bottom half of the stock turbo heatshield. Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

Turkeylord Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 My guess is that it's just a mark to help with the balancing process. It'll probably just burn off once you've run it a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDK At this point I'm looking at $200 vs $500+ for a dyno tune from Precision. I'm not sure it's worth it on a bare bones 16G setup (I'll be running stock fueling).
