Pretty much any turbo heat shield (even a cut stock one) covers the top of the DP, which is the only part of the DP that can heat soak a TMIC.

Edit: Also, I am arguing just for the sake of arguing... it's not like coating is really going to hurt anything, it just seems a rather expensive alternative to a $5 piece of metal.
