This is a bit of a delay in the project. I was set and ready to put the turbo back in tonight when I noticed the result of many many heat cycles on the frame next to where the turbo sits (not sure if the corrosion to the right is a result).

That rust isn’t too bad (perspective of a 30 year old Michigan car). Almost all of the galvanized protection is gone in this area (you can see clean and bare metal near the bottom. I applied rust converter to sit overnight; I can’t do much more than that with the engine in the car. My plan for this is to spray high temp paint over this part of the frame a nd hope it doesn’t get worse than this.

while the turbo is out, maybe throw on a insulation blanket to help prevent this

It looks damn near new by Michigan standards

Would you believe me if I said other than the battery tray corrosion that I “fixed” last year, this is the worst I’ve seen on the car?

Excellent idea! The car has a heat shield that slots in those tabs. Supplementing it with something more extensive and modern should help more than hurt. I’ll have a look into it.

Of course, as there is no incentive to bear false witness.

Sounds like you’ve got it under control, should be good to go with some hi-temp paint. Looks like a clean frame!

I hope so! I can’t do much more than this.
