i just ported my wastegate on my turbo and when i reinstall it i don't want to put my heat shields back on because it makes it harder to take off the next time i want to get a turbo blanket (wrap) but i need to spend my money on hoses, plugs bolts ect... first so i want to know if it is alright to run my t2 without heat shields for about a month until i get money it isnt daily driven just acouple times a week for under a hour at a time just makin sure because i don't want my hoses and all to dry out and crack also where is some places to get a turbo blanket for cheap but it works great

im running w/o a turbo heat shield and my mobile runs great. i am wanting to get one thogh since engine bay temps do get pretty high. one little side question, hows that fcon feel? did it make a substantial difference? -alex

i don't really know about the fcon because i got it with it already installed but the car runs great doesn't cut out or have any boosting/engine problems

I've got no heat-shields on my turbo setup and have experienced no negative side-effects...

But then again, I've got nothing to compare it to.

My other 'more experienced' friend is also running no heat-shields on a similar setup and he doesn't seem to think there's any problems with it...

I wouldn't worry about it.
