right now i have the abd intake it does come with a small heat sheild and seems to work great. when i bought my car it had the evoms intake on it which i replaced with the abd because the evoms intake sat right behind the passanger headlight and was a pain in the butt to get the filter to sit in there right so it would pop out the headlight.

All you need for a simular ABD intake is a 2.75" U bend, 2.75" 90* bend, 2 2.75" couplers and filter. You can easily do it for just over $100 with a k&n filter. But there is no real point in adding anything but a U bend and filter. The turbo is going to heat up the air to X temp with or w/o a heatshield/where its placed.
