Installation of S4 Turbo heat shield - Instructions?

I did a search, but pulled up nothing..which seems odd, I figured I would have gotten something. Anyway, I might be purchasing a heat shield for the turbo of my S4. Just wondering if there is a write-up anywhere on how to do it, and if not, anybody have points/tips/help/prayers?

If its a stock one it will bolt up where the stock one goes.

If its an aftermarket blanket just make sure its secure. Nothing overly complex there.....

It's the stock, but I'm just curious if I have to take off the turbo, or take the engine out, or if I can just lift the car up and put it in there...

Its a PITA to install while its all in the car. Look at it when you get it and you'll see what I mean.

The turbo should ideally come off.

Shucks. I guess I'll just hold it until I get my engine rebuilt, and just have them put it on there while they are putting the engine back in. Since I don't have the tools or know-how on taking a turbo off.

the stock s4 turbo sheilds are way over complex, its like a puzzle to get all of em in right. it is however, easy and straight forward to put the main ones on. the complexity is in the teeny 2-3 sheilds...
