upgraded heat shield for turbo oil feed line?

I have a 98 AEB KO4 & was reading about a upgraded heat shield for turbo oil feed line? I noticed how close the CAT is to the bottom side of the oil feed line, especially the 90 degree angle where the line goes around the back of the engine. The line is bolted up correctly with the stock head shield that comes with it....
Right now with the stock shield, the bottom side of oil feed line is completely exposed to heat the coming off the CAT.

So is there an upgraded heat shield floating around for the newer B5’s? In the pic below, I believe this has it installed. Is this the correct piece? If not, does any one have a PN?

EDIT - what started all this was my pops noticed oil was dripping on the CAT ???!!! he saw the bolt on the back right hand corner of the engine under the stock shield was just hanging there & caused the 90 degree angle to be EVEN CLOSER to the cat. He bolted it back up & no more leak BUT i still dont know where the drips were coming from? its bone dry now & both ends of the oil line are tight (no signs of previous leaking or discoloration)

The ECS Tuning link has a picture of what came oem on my '99 AEB (DOM 12/98). But that heat shield was absent in '98 and some '99's. I just replaced mine because it wasn't shiney anymore. Seriously; I bought a new one because the OEM was heat scorched blue/yellow/brown.

the one shown on ECS site is identical to the one I bought at my local dealership a few years ago, and finally swapped out just a few months ago when I R/R my engine mounts.

I may still have the old one. You can have it if I still have it. Nothing wrong with it at all. It's just not shiney!

Looks exactly the same on my '98 6/97...Mine was all discolored too,but I opt to paint it with high temp black paint to match the pcv tubing.
