Heat Shield service bulletin

Just a heads up for those out there with turbo's, I dropped my 2010 Clubbie S to have a broken seat release lever looked at and my SA said that they would be replacing the turbo heat shield while they had my car. There was a bulletin put out about this just recently. I was told that they have redesigned the shield to better protect the oil line.

I don't have any further information on this, but thought I'd pass this on.

Yup, that appears to be the same as what they are doing on mine. I guess I need to learn how to search in all forums, not just this area.

Sorry to clutter up this forum.

Is this the same as Way's "Turbo Line Heat Shield"?

If so, does this service bulletin concern the N18 engine? Last I was up to Way's having a LSD installed, he said that I didn't need on because of it being an N18.
