Abstract: A scatter guard is interposed between a turbine inlet of a turbocharger and a downpipe and is a ring member that has a pair of opposing flanges, one flange being used to connect the ring to the turbocharger and the other flange being used to connect the ring to the down pipe, each connection being made via a band clamp. One or more spokes are located within the ring and are used to absorb an incoming escaped turbine either to outright stop the turbine or to shatter the turbine into numerous smaller and far less harmful pieces. The inside diameters at each end of the ring may be different to relative to one another in order to eliminate the need to use a step-down adapter whenever the diameter of the turbine inlet and the downpipe mismatch. Alternately, the scatter guard can be used in conjunction with the step-down adapter.

Abstract: An E clutch hub assembly for the Ford 6R140 transmission, that reduces the squawk noise that occurs during the 3-4 upshift. A clutch hub has a lower pressure washer onto which is stacked a damper hub having radially located lube holes to direct lube to the E clutch plates. An upper pressure washer is stacked onto the damper hub while a pressure plate, seated within a snap ring rove machined into the hub, applies pressure onto the two pressure washers which help absorb the squawk noise. A waved spring holds the entire assembly within the hub.
