I'll answer no 2 first by saying I didn't relocate the glow plug controller, I was only able to run turbo'd for three weeks (see signature) but I didn't have any problems. I just used some of that thermal protection wire conduit over any wires/hoses that ran under the turbo. As for the wire loom keeper, you can just run your new shorter bolt though it and then into the intake/head, or what I did was just use two hardened washers with one of the stock lifting bracket bolts to take up the extra thread, that way you can still easily fasten and undo that clamp for the wire loom.

say mates :
ok - at the glow plug wiring loom stage - 2 options - keep glow plug controller at back of moteur at factory mount or move to pass valve cover with bracket
the former /first option , oil pressure plug wire need to be lengthened -
the latter option all wires that connect to glow plug module need to be moved
the issue I am having with first option is getting the glow plug loom protected and out of the way of the exhaust & turbo heat -
what do you think of all this ? for me and my truck - the down pipe / turbo exhaust would be very close to the loom the OEM way - in the latter option there is more work but less wire so maybe better flexibility on harness /loom
look forward to your thoughts/ experience / ideas
cheers in advance

I used a heat protective sleeve made from koolit. same company that makes the header wrap and coatings. The i used the heat protecting tape to cover the glow plug controller cover. It hits maybe 120 when i am towing. This is tested with my laser temp gun so +-5deg. Well within its normal working temps. Essentially the passenger side loom gets moved over towards the drivers side a few inches and zip tied in place. Zero issues so far.

Cheers for the reply :
tomorrow I am going to see about taking my glow plug loom and making it like the factory idi turbo glow plug harness - U shaped to the front of moteur - not the rear - Reading the instructions from Banks - they speak of shielding the throttle cable - did not think on this - and cannot be rerouted
Purchased the Banks glow plug module bracket - might as well use it - at least I wont have to concern with shielding this from heat
already the injector bleed off line from no 7 to no 8 is heat shielded
I'll post how I go with the loom re fit

Awesome, yeah good luck. Hope it goes well for you. The throttle cable for a banks might need to be shielded but mine doesnt get close to any issues. If it did you could just cover it with loom or heat tape. the heat tape has a protective ability of up to 2000 deg. It works very well by reflecting all the heat. Cool it or thermotec makes some good stuff. I still want to get the t3/t4 turbo wrap, like sock for your turbo. Keeps it all toasty inside and spool is even further reduced.

the ATS turbo set up - factory Ford offer early '94 came with all the heat shields including the turbo " suitcase " - is this the t3/t4 wrap you speak of ?
and do you think this suitcase is sufficient for keeping the wires protected
Am wondering if I am leaning toward overkill with my work

no its a soft boot cover. laces around the exhaust side and you can put your hand on the turbo even at full temps. Retains all the heat inside. The temps out of straight pipe will melt plastic though so careful where you park hahaha. its not over kill but in my case, i have nothing on, none of the shields. its mostly required to reduce under hood temps but i dont have any problems there. went and looked at dynamat yesterday and in bc canada it is like solid gold. 339 for the trunk kit. just too much damn money or i would do the hood, firewall, fenders, and doors.

very nice indeed - when I started investigating a turbo install - I knew all the heat shields were important - not to mention why I pulled the heat shield off the firewall of the PSD I saw in the parts year - makes things tighter but I think is worth the hassle - I have a Landy 90 with 200 Tdi , in summer on freeway drives my feet cook - this only has a heat shield over turbo so bonnet does not cook- great in winter though - toasty toes ....
Now I just have to work on getting the transmission lines shielded from the down pipe and exhaust
