Factory heat shield usage

Yes. You want to keep the manifold and turbine as hot as possible. If the exhaust cools it will lose energy before it gets to the turbo.
It's also important to keep the heat isolated from the other components in the engine bay. Lower iats as well as rubber/plastic pieces lasting longer.

The exhaust cooling using a stock turbo and manifold is hardly an issue; it's such a short run. Although with after market manifolds it's a good idea to wrap your self ![Wink](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)
I have no shield on mine, and damn is the heat there brutal. I've wrapped most things in the area with heat reflective tubing/tape though.
Another thing people do (myself included) is to cover the LIM with reflective tape. How much of a performance effect there is, I don't know. But it can't hurt. It seems to hold in place also.
