How Import Is Heatshield?....
The garage thats fitting my decat downpipe reckons they need to modify the heatshield for it to fit? Is this true on an MY98 UK Turbo? How important is it?...
I'm thinking of telling him just to chuck it, or is that a bad idea?...

In theory a decat will move the heat away from the turbo more quickly so it should run cooler and would be ok.
I have run several cars now without them and never had a problem, but if you can get it back on then I'd advise you to do so.
I usually didn't bother but that was usually 'cos I was so frustrated and just couldn't be arsed.
