Hi guys,
Took the heat shielding off the turbo's today cause i have to do the twin pipes and also fix a leak.. MY GOSH HOW SMALL ARE 1J TURBOS!!!!!!! haha. I nearly died. Like opening your fly on a cold day!
Anyhow.. is it safe for me to drive the car 20-30km's without the heat shields on???

Your not wrong about the turbo's luke, When I took off mine Idint know whether to laugh or cry !! They are SMALL !>
I dontthink there would be any prob with no heat sheilds, I am not sure ofthe layout of your bay, jsut be careful of melted washer bottles or brake/clutch masters etc.
Dont boost it execisvely, underbonnet temps will be high.

The cars going good, put some new plugs in it on Sunday finally, didn't make heaps of differance but a lot smoother and coming on boost a little quicker. Still got the same problem as before with traction, need an LSD big time. 
Will send you my phone number so next time your thinking of coming to Newcastle you can give us a call.
Neil.
