How to lift a TurboII?

What's the best way to jack up the front of a TurboII (don't know if it's any diff then the NAs) to put jack stands in? I couldn't find anything substancial looking in the front middle.

I don't understand. You don't have that very large crossmember just in front of the engine? I use that with a block of wood b/t the floor jack and the crossmember. I probably misunderstood the question(again).

Crossmember

Is it beneath (or above I guess) that plastic shield? so I would have to take the shield off before jacking it up.

also, does anyone know why that shield is there, can I just get rid of it?

He's talking about the engine subframe. It's right behind that plastic shield. If you look under your hood you'll see it. The plastic shield helps in cooling the car.

That's something I could never understand! How could putting an air barrier under the engine such as a plastic shield, make it run cooler? Seems like it would do the opposite?

The plastic thing makes the air go through the radiator instead of ending up under the car....
