T-78 Heat Shield?
I'm going to put a Greddy T78 on my car. I don't have a heat shield, would you say it's required? I don't want to melt anything. If I do need one can anyone recommend where to get on?
Thanks for all your help.

What is it bolted to? Did he drill/tap the turbine housing and bolt it to that?

It's not needed but would help. A friend of mine made one with a thick sheet of fiberglass.
