Heat shield on top of turbo do i need it
Just had a rebuild and the garage have left the heat shield of the motor this is the one on the left hand side that covers the b/off valve.
Is it an integral peice of kit?
Been advised without it it could could cause heat soak and **** the running?
Actually its idling badly at the mo (see other post)
Cheers

its always best to protect as much as you can from excess heat, given that the turbo is right next to the intercooler/warmer 
turbos run very very hot indeed, 8-900 degrees C i read somewhere!
Did the garage just leave it off or have you got it?
