I cant say what the positives/negatives are when running the sleeves on a modded motor but the purpose of them is to prevent heat energy escaping from the exhaust gas into the cooling system in the cylinder head, this in theory leaves more heat energy in the exhaust gas to spin the turbo up. I have seen a couple of guys with stock 550s ditch the sleeves and they couldn't tell the differnence in power or spool up time.

Yes, after rebuilding one turbo with a sleeve halfway through it.....that was enough. I took all the sleeves out a year or so ago and never looked back. I didn't want to drive down the road wondering when one of the other sleeves was going to let loose. B manifold and no sleeves and be done with it.
