Worth a punt then! Could end up at £19 each if say a number of like minded people wanted one!

I would probably grab one, i bought my last one from ebay that worked a treat and allowed me to touch it after a serious bit of spirited driving!

If I get enough interest Ill get a group buy going. Ill work out postage, for the size of the item itll be no more than a buck fifty. I'd bubble wrap them (I can get it free!)
Lets see how we go!

the group buy is rolling. I found them marginally cheaper from the same company but a diffewrent shop-front.

http://www.aliexpress.com/fm-store/5...h-quality.html

Works out to be a whole $10 cheaper for ten pieces! We will see!

What does an SC40 equate to size wise? This will be to fit my VF35 (fingers crossed!!)

The SC40 has the same size exhaust housing as a normal TD05[its the compressor side that's larger] so should fit just fine.

I have one of these wrapped over the PTP one which sits tighter around the turbo. I wanted it to replicate a turbo heat shield over the PTP blanket. Works amazingly well , proper cool. I am interested aswell for my other classic. As long as you realise it's a knock off, all good

It looks identical to the one I have on the WRX I bought, and I doubt the seller paid Mines money for that one The PTP and these work well together and are belt and braces turbo heat management.
