Installation Manual - Detailed step by step installation instructions with pictures
PTU Brace / Heat Shield Purpose:
The purpose of this part is to provide additional reinforcement to the ptu case cover which likely flexes when higher than stock torque and horsepower is transmitted through it causing misalignment of the gear shafts and bearings. The brace also incorporates additional webbing which serves as a heat shield to help mitigate unwanted heat from the catalytic converter which prematurely cooks the limited amount of ptu gear oil stored in the case.
PTU Brace Installation Requirements:
Fits non-PP ptu only due to the pp cars having a cooler located on the side of their ptu.
Requires removal of rear downpipe and rear turbo air intake hose pipe for installation clearance.
I would like to give a special thanks to the good group of guys that helped push this product’s development and motivate SEP to make this happen for the platform: Andrew Bullock, Jordan Christensen and John Diaz. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement!
