Anybody else w/ an 08-11 wrx/sti have this problem? The tang of the turbo heat shield mounting bracket closest to the pass. side fender(sheet metal piece) w/ a threaded piece, snapped off. At first it was a subtle metal vibration, then I checked under the hood and find that the bolt/broken piece of the bracket is still connected to my Grimmspeed turbo heat shield. (It appears to have snapped off @ the weld... ) I noticed it after my trackday @ Thunderhill (93+deg weather).

I'm going to make my own bracket that mounts to a nearby hardpoint. Just a head's up in case any one has this issue. I'll take a picture when I get the chance.
