Yes I thin this what I used as well.

You can buy a heat resistant glue spray that you spray on to both surfaces to give you adhesion.

can i use this heat shield from merlin to cover the back of the ic box or would it be too thick ? is it a good idea to cover the whole of the inside ?

will the nimbus underneath the IC box clear the rear turbo ?

I used nimbus. Held in place by the self tappers that hold the intercooler box down

did u use the nimbus G11 ? it's 5mm thick so wondering if it clears the rear turbo as it looks quite tight under there
