Seeing as the Turbo is close to being situated directly under the Intercooler the slightest bit of protection to reduce heat soak with a Top Mount is a good thing.

I'd leave it in to keep your Intercooler temps down.

Yes it makes a difference. Best to keep the heat shield on and even better you could lag the turbo and still put the heat shield on.
