I would not do that as it keeps the bulkhead and heater&vent (LHD) away from the heat. Puma 110" SW

I would put it back on.

Not only are other items protected from the heat but I recall reading an article where it was explained that the Turbo unit needs to be kept warm as cooling off too quickly and then heating up again is not desired. Sounded reasonable... The rattling thing is annoying but maybe you can find another solution for that, instead of removing the shield completely (e.g. stiffing the heat shield with a peace of metal... haven't found the solution either.. ) The goons are trying to bring me down!
