Theoretically it should. Shrouding the turbo holds heat into the exhaust that would otherwise heatsoak the intake manifold, block, etc.
I've been sans turbo heat shield for a long time (ever since my cheap-o Gruppe-S shield vibrated itself into two pieces). IIRC, my intake temps went up once I started running w/o the shield. 'Course back then I was running a Perrin BigMAF. Not so sure it makes a huge difference with the KSpeed CAI... seeing some real-world numbers from GrimmSpeed would be awesome.
