Reinstall heat sheilds on twins? Or leave em off?
When you guys reinstalled your twins, did you guys put all the heat sheilds back on there or what?
I would think that having all of those peices of metals surrounding a glowing chunk of metal would retain heat longer....am I wrong? I know enough to put the sheilds that go around the exaust manifold to the twins, and the top part of the twins...in order to keep heat off the lower intake manifold....but are all the lower ones realy needed? Thanks, CJ

mine were taken off with the turbo rebuild. there arent all kinds of road pebble dings or mud build up around them either, and my car has been an everyday driver with out the sheilds for 17k miles. keep them off. mazda also put a precat and a small radiator on there for a REASON, but are we going to keep them?

i was just thinking back to one of my ski's which is a turbo honda. it has tons of shielding around the turbo because water regularly gets into the hull and splashes around. now, say if we were running hard, and then went through a big puddle, and soaked our non-protected turbos, then the chances of cracking the housing are more then likely. i guess you guys were right, the sheilding IS there for a reason and worth keeping....oooohhhhhhhh, thanks for clearing that one up! that rajeevx7 guy's a jackass!
