I use one with my Borg Warner EFR 7670. No scientific before and after comparisons but the science seems sound and basically a must/ a might as well when you're already up there messing with your turbo set-up.
Yeah and there are some really solid YouTube videos showing the net positive effect. They show temps of nearby comments dropping and great considering the intake and charge pipes there.

I was rather frustrated to find the front turbo heat shield has a single bolt down low preventing it from coming out. Really a bummer considering all top bolts and the rear shield come out from the top.

My plan is setting aside a full day this week to take off whatever I need from the bottom to get to that stupid bolt.

I will have a full DIY to share when done.
