Turbo Mesh

Right been looking round and what people have some and most people use a sieve mesh but I found an alternative that gives you a few spares.

What you will need.

A cheap frying pan splatter gaurd

A Stanley knife or similar

A small tin of Hammerite

A marker pen

A pair of scissors

A suitable size jubilee clip

An adult for supervising the the cutty out bits

Step 1: Remove the splatter guard from the packaging.

Step 2: take the Stanley knife and run around the outer ring of the splatter guard so that your just left with the mesh.

Step 3: work out how big you need the mesh I worked out that for my TD04 it needed to be the size of a small tin of Hammerite, i worked this out by measuring the diameter of the inlet then allowing a little either side (1cm) for clamping. Then using the marker pen draw around the tin.

Step 4: Cut around your outline with a pair of scissors.

Step 5: Trial for it for size I was lucky I had a spare turbo housing but if not try it for size as if you've made it to small you still have more mesh to make it bigger. If all is good continue to the final step if not repeat from step 3.

Step 6: If all is good fit it to the car tighten up the jubilee clip and happy boosting.
