I replaced my turbo and forgot to put back one of the steel heat shields. Should I foresee any major problems on road trips, especially since I dont have the shield anymore.

Are you talking about the one passenger side on exhaust manifold? ifso don't worry about it, you would be fine. I removed my when changed turbo and been driving like that for few years with no problems.
