btw, the only way i could get my painted bulkhead heatshield back in without scratching it (with the turbo in situ) was to remove the coolent large hoses coming from the bulkhead btw.....
it wouldnt go in without major damage to the paint, lol....
should have fitted them before fitting the turbo!

Cheers :thumleft: The paint kept cracking on the bulkhead one, I was using VHT satin black and it looked awfull so im thinking a new heatsheild might be the better option?

sorry dont think my post made sense, it was totally fine once i removed those pipes, it slid in fine without damage..tho i did have ot repaint parts of it cause of the trial and error the first time i put it in....second time, all fine no scratchs or damage.

and paint wise, mine was and is fine, i did it quite thick....
