Sour, thank you for the link, but even with the pictures and the go pro shots, I just can't see how or where to remove stuff to get to the heat shield. Those Ford diagram color graphics are hard for me to read too. I would just like to know... what should I have removed to get to the wastegate? For example. This week or next I will be installing the DHM crashbar and IC as well as the MAPerformance IC charge pipes. Does all that have to be off to get good access to the heatshield? I would kill for a guide. I'm already pretty unfamiliar with the underside of the car, despite installing the RMM, symposer delete, short shift plate, and cat back.

Is the waste gate accessed near the recirc valve? I've seen Spool's video on the Turbosmart shorty BOV. I didn't see anything related to the heatshield though in that area. I guess one of the things I need is reassurance of what I need removed to accomplish the job. Can I feasibly to the wastegate replacement with the bumper and IC still connected? It's no big deal to pop off the end of the IC piping if that's all I need to remove underneath to get to the heatshield.
I just did this with a Turbosmart IWG, but not the TUNE+ specific part. The exhaust manifold heat shield bolts are accessed from the top/rear of the engine (3 bolts) & bottom/rear of the engine (1 bolt) after removing the intake tube. Removing a few bolts on the catalytic converter heat shield makes it easier to get to the lower manifold heat shield bolt. I couldn't get my manifold heat shield out of the way without pushing a turbo coolant line a little, which I didn't like. Removing the plastic cowl should help a bunch, but I didn't do it. The IWG fasteners are easy to get to after the heat shield is out of the way. the IWG is not in the same location as the fmic install.

Removing the wipers/cowl/intake make getting at the heat shield pretty easy. I recommend watching the COBB intake or down pipe install videos on their website to get an idea.

If this is the only time these are going to be available I am going to order one as well (if that is still possible).
Sold out, might have more in the next 2 weeks but not 100%.

I removed my heat shield while doing my cat. Both came out of the exhaust tunnel relatively easily

Alright, confirmed I have 10 extras on the way.

These are going to go fast so make sure you order ASAP!

http://adamtuned.com/collections/2014-ford-fiesta-st/products/tune-upgraded-wastegate-actuator

Just added 10 to inventory on the site, once they are gone this will be 100% not available moving forward. It is going to be consuming a lot of my time, and I'm getting VERY busy on the tuning side. I don't want to sacrifice any customer service. [MENTION=3962]White_15_ST[/MENTION] [MENTION=3180]TempeST[/MENTION] [MENTION=3409]InsTwin[/MENTION]
