Thanks Pete but time is an issue at the moment so wondered as the 97 cars dont have it and have the same TDO5 Turbo? could i get away not fitting it or is it known to damage the turbo under heavy useage?

The 97 cars do have a turbo heat shield but it is a different shape. Your one takes cooling air from the scoop, but someone then worked out that turbos don't need air cooling.
The shield protects surrounding components from the radiant heat of a yellow hot turbo. I know some people run without this, but I wouldn't.

I have also just fitted a JW-Racing(magnex) twin dump downpipe and have the same problem. I am gonna re-fabricate my shield to fit though, mainly to try and dissipate some of the heat generated by the turbo.

Heat shield modified and fitted easy job took about 20 mins not much to chop off really car goes like stink really notice the difference with the magnex twin dump down pipe coupled to magnex system also nice sound very worth while mod
