Default a few random heat shield questions

I am about to purchase a heat shield to go along with the turboback I am purchasing, and I have a few questions that I can seem to find clear answers about-
1)If I later move to a fmic and/or a bigger turbo, will the SPT heat shield still have a place to mount to?
2)Can any of the metal turbo heat shields (as in not a turbo blanket) fit on top of bolt on turbo replacements (like something the size of a 20g or a dom3)?
3)Will a trimmed stock heat shield have any chance of fitting over the turbos listed in question number 2?
4)Can the cobb or cusco be doubled up with the stock heatshield like the SPT can?

thanks for input or insight

Ok, giving you a bump cause I'm curious myself about some of the answers to your questions. I can't really comment on the SPT as I personally have the cobb and don't know much about the SPT

1) ???

2) I know I've seen the cusco fit over a 20G and I'm pretty sure I've seen the cobb. Not sure about the dom and obviously if you go rotated all bets are off...but I'm sure someone here can point you in the right direction.

3) Don't know..my stock heat shield is lost somewhere

4) I think I've read some where yes...but never came up with solid yes or no. Wondering myself cause if it does I might look harder for my stock one and try it.


EDIT: A quick look through some journals and I was able to spot a SPT over FP Green and a cobb over a Deadbolt SZ55 with a front mount. Might answer some of your questions above
