Turbo Heat Shield...

[Konstantine Bogach]

I am going through unread digests I received during last week.  Just in case you don't get response:
front shield goes slightly under rear shield (one screw goes through both of them),  90 deg bent edge (about 1/2'' high)  makes
something like a shallow tray  (with a wall on one side only, air filter housing side)  if you look from above.
This edge (wall of the tray) is closer to air filter housing.  The metal thing holding thick orange cables goes under front shild
and a screw goes through the shield and this metal thing.  Total 3 screws hold the shield.
Hope it helps.

Konstantin Bogach.
