Greddy T78 HeatShield question

anyone know if this fits my single Greddy T78 kit?

http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/me...egory_Code=BCS

A few people told me, the T78 has a T4 housing, but i called ATPturbo.com and they said it wont fit cause the T78 is too big. Any input will help

thanks

They say the Turbo is too big because the turbine housing might be too big in diameter.

Also, doesn't the T-78's turbine housing mount to the center section with a V-band? That shield used the bolts of a garrett style turbo to mount to.

Won't work. I have one now. I would recommend the Gotham Racing heat shield as it not only looks good, it's highly effective. You can run your car hard, pull over and put your hand on the top of the shield. It's well under $150 too.

Most definitely makes a HUGE difference in radiated heat in the engine bay. I am referring to the Gotham heat shield, not the metal-type heat shields that come with many kits. Gotham's is actually a blanket of sorts.
