Default After market turbo heat shield?

Hi guys.
I'm fitting a turbo back exhaust in a few weeks and my turbo heat shield looks rather rusty and I don't think it's going to come off or go back on easily. Are there any good, but not too expensive aftermarket sheat shields out there?
I found one at £75 which is a bit much or a few on eBay at £35 BUT the small print says for a left-hand drive only.

Alyn at AS Performance. I bought a nice new Forge turbo blanket from him. £60 I think it was.

Me too!

You can actually modify the standard heat shield to fit over a turbo blanket. It's worth doing.
