Wouldn’t worry to much about the heat shield, I run my 200tdi without one and it’s fine - I wrapped my exhaust down pipe but left the turbo naked, even after a hard run on boost the bonnet doesn’t even get warm

Naked is always better

I did debate getting one of those ‘turbo jacket’ things made of some woven heat proof material but didn’t in the end as I am not sure ‘performance’ gains would be noticeable on a 200tdi and also after a few years of worryingly anc checking realised the turbo doesn’t actually heat up the bonnet
