Hello
The heat shield your taking about is the one above the turbo? I would always fit the heat shield as the heat from the engine and turbo could cause your car not perform as it should. Basically the colder the air in through the air intake the better.

On the move the airflow through the induction system is such that it won't make a huge impact but when you're sitting in traffic heat rising from the manifold and turbo won't do your inlet piping the world of good over time.
Whichever you believe I would fit the heat shield.
Well if the Godfather had said to fit it then fit it I shall haha.
Cheers guys will be a pain in the ase but guess s**t happens.

I've just tried to do most of the things that shouldn't be done to the poor old S3!
