it's a year since the motor came out so i forget completely

there are two heat shields. going by the CV grease splatter i have worked out the big one bolts to rear of turbo up pipe below turbo and also onto cat converter in two spots

it is the other smaller heat shield that has me stumped

it is about photo size 6x4 with a quarter of it cut out and has a long trough like pressing in it that could be said to be triangular trough and has two holes for mounting bolts to go through

where the heck does it go ??

I dont know if this is what u are after.. but i just ran outside and took a few shots for you.
Hope it helps..
Cheers

Not that my RX is an offroader but i have no factory heat shielding around my turbo but have a smaller shield close to the inner boot

im pretty sure the one you are talking about (kinda half dome thing) it goes directly on top of the turbo and attaches/hangs off the front strut brace thing.
tell me if ya need a pic coz i have this one but not the one on back of turbo like shown above

I have the same as subi said and Fatz pic above ^ i don't have the other type

thanks for the photos fatz. If i found time and inclination to follow your photo school I"D be able to post a flippin' photo of me mystery bit. Fatz is different to mine. Had to drop everything on GLTA coz the only road going registered and insured wheels are sick, the Brumby white is donating its 92 donk to my red road warrior - and it ain't just straight swap due to pollution joys and oil leaks

I'll have to take photo when ready and do sumptin' wiff it

right, a follow up... it is the inner heat guard as in between turbo and transmission up high and fixes in place with two M6 bolts. The upper RHS engine to gearbox bolt has the throttle cable bracket that attaches at the front with a bent threaded tab on it. The front bolt goes here. At the rear must be a bent & twisted bracket that fits at the rear on same gearbox/engine bolt. I am yet to find this bracket. Will end up making one - then find the original !

I've probably got what your after drop me a pm if you want
