Eurwaudi, wow, just wow. Upstate spoon fed you all the info and you are either to stupid or stubborn to take facts.

The heatsheild wont do **** for a turbo car. The heat from the turbine transferd to the rest of the turbo, not to mention the compression alone will take the air to the same temp regaurdless of how cool it was to start with. Then the ic will still cool it to the best of its capabilities resulting in the same iats [intake (as in manifold)air temp] as it would w/ or w/o a heatshield/airbox/cai.

For the people bitching about the filter being hot as hell and what not, dont place the filter on the maf and have it sit inches above the turbo and manifold, COMMON SENSE NOW PEOPLE!!!
