The heat shield is out of stock until August, FYI.

Thank you for the information! Would you mind sharing a picture of how much clearance you have between the heat shield and the wastegate actuator?Just so you know - it's the wastegate actuator. It's important as it controls the amount of boost going through your engine. It should be ok, as others have mentioned they all move together, but mine definitely isn't hitting that.
Sure - I can do that tomorrow. It's not much at all, but it's not touching.Thank you for the information! Would you mind sharing a picture of how much clearance you have between the heat shield and the wastegate actuator?
Appreciate it. I emailed Verus about an hour ago. Will let you know what I hear back!Sure - I can do that tomorrow. It's not much at all, but it's not touching.
This. Highly recommended for anyone doing the install. Would have prevented me from dropping one of the spacers down into the engine compartment at one point. The Car Gods were on my side and I could luckily reach it without taking anything apart. Could have been a real PITA.Also- this helps a billionx with the install.
just one 1/4 internal tooth washer per side.
I dropped a spacer and it’s gone forever. I saw it fall out of the tray after driving it. Verus sent me a replacement for like 5 bucks.This. Highly recommended for anyone doing the install.

Doh! Man, at least they sold you a spare. $5 isn't too bad either. Could have really gouged you for it. They seem like a stand-up group of people.I dropped a spacer and it’s gone forever. I saw it fall out of the tray after driving it. Verus sent me a replacement for like 5 bucks.
After I dropped it and couldn’t find it, I took the shield off, replaced the 13mm bolts, and drove around till I heard/saw it. Oops!
Just installed with the Eventuri intake. Quick install. Didn't need to remove the intake either. Probably about a 15 minute job.
If you don’t drop shit like an idiot it’s super easy.Very Easy to install???
That engine bay just screams for nuts, bolts and washers to be lost. I was lucky and recovered a washer I dropped down there by tapping on the skid plate until it rattled.If you don’t drop shit like an idiot it’s super easy.
