Someone posted this on supraforums, thought I would share. An interesting way to make yourself a cheap turbo shield. Buy a pot from K mart that will fit around your compressor side ![http://www.elit3.com/upload.php?file=Pan1.jpg](http://www.elit3.com/upload.php?file=Pan1.jpg) Get a cardboard template and cut pot to size ![http://www.elit3.com/upload.php?file=Template.jpg](http://www.elit3.com/upload.php?file=Template.jpg) Heres the results ![http://www.elit3.com/upload.php?file=Panonturbo4.jpg](http://www.elit3.com/upload.php?file=Panonturbo4.jpg) ---
