I have been searching for a DP heatshield for the forester. And since they all share the same intercooler now, was wondering which ones you guiys installed. I have noticed steak got the SPT one, but when i go to subarugenuineparts, they only list up to 2007. I can't find a cobb one or the cusco one. Help please??
Thanks

 

my SPT is only the turbo heatshield

Did you change out your DP to aftermarket? I would consider doing a heatwrap since I hear that works well (I know SOHI has wrap)

 

I will be swapping it out with a perrin DP. I thought the IC design was different, hence the bolts where the IC bolts to the shield were in a different location. Was it a bolt on affair for you with no drilling?? Also, where did you get the heatshield from, so i can reference it?
Thanks!

 

i have a part # for the 2010 FXT E771SFG500 this is from the forester accrssories booklet

 

You didn't mention me in the title :'( lol. Nah no matter cause I no mo anyway.

 

I wouldn't wrap the DP without a heatshield above it.

The heatshield that you put over the turbo that partially covers the bellmouth to the DP protects the turbo from rain coming from the hood scoop. If you don't have a heatshield and just wrap it then if it rains the water not only hits the turbo (cracking) but also soaks into the wrap.

 

i just used a dremel on the spot welds for the oe heatshield. lower half gone, upper half still fits over my perrin divorced wastegate dp.

 

that's for the SPT? Right on *****!



Yeah, i actually don't plan on wrapping the DP.

Cool, i may have to take off the heatshield and cut it with the dremel, but was planning on getting the spt and haven't decided if i wanted to cut the oem heatshield, or just use the spt by itself.

Thanks for the responses guys.......

 

yup thats what the broucher for the 2010 fxt says

 

imo you should do both. cut the stock heatshield to fit and get that spt joint. that way you have the good stock heat shield and the spt one to make it look nice thats what i plan to do if i ever do a dp

 

Yeah, I agree justin. I think I will do both.
