and the guy left the stock turbo heat shield off because he couldn't get it back on. is this a problem or it makes no difference whether its on or off. Also just making sure when u put a bigger front mount intercooler on (Greddy Mspec) it makes it lag a bit more but comes on harder?

Well now look, if you've paid someone to swap your turbos they really should put all the bits back on again. If they haven't, then either they take it apart again and put it back together properly (at no further expense to your good self), or pays for someone else to do it.

 

Also, if it's the metal shield that sits on top of the turbos, yes it's required or you'll melt pipes and stuff. It's held on by two or four really big and really accessible bolts. It's about the single easiest bit to remove/replace out of the whole sequential system :blink: How can you fail to put it back on?

they used mine and redone the insides with steel blades not ceramic because the ceramic ones had chips in it

 

Did they tell you that? :) I ask because the only ceramic failures I know of end up with the entire wheels shattering - due to the nature of ceramics. I've not heard of them ever just being chipped.
