Default Esc cos turbo heatshield??

I need a new one as mine is quite tatty, has anyone got one, maybe you have swapped for a chrome one?

I do have chrome one that will need slight fettling to fit, but would rather a tidy standard one as i'm not too hot on fettling,lol.

Well my small turbo generates also A LOT of heat. Still don't know if I need it. I didn't put it on after last few turbo swaps and everything seams to be all right.

On LHD they do run behind the turbo and on the turbo side there is ABS modulator. Might be good to put it not to boil brake fluid.. hehe...
