i did something similar, but on the driver's side to prevent hot air from entering open filter. it works pretty well, i can email pics if you like.
what is the intent of the heat shield. prevent heat from getting to the other side of the engine? or keeping the heat in to improve turbo efficiency? i wrapped my manifold at one point and noticed an improvement in spool up buy about 2-300 rpm. however, i did start having issues with loosening of the manifold bolts and i do have a small crack between 2 and 3 ports. it looks superficial and there are no indications exhaust gas is escaping from the crack, but you never know. it may be something i just never notcied before and could be an imperfection in the cast. at any rate, i have removed the wrap.
i would, and may in the future, consider coating the manifold. this may be a better route to take.
