Exhaust in cabin

Hey all. So this issue developed over the winter and I finally got around to trying to troubleshoot it. Did the reverse vacuum into the tail pipe while spraying soapy water on everything idea but couldn't see any bubbles anywhere. Which brings me to the exhaust manifold. Two questions.

1. Does anyone have any experience with a leak around the manifold?
2. How the f do you get that turbo heat shield off??!

Thank you in advance!

I read somewhere you would need like a Torx 20/25 bit to get the Heatshield off hope that might help

Theres two screw and one plug on the underside of the shield that need to be removed.
Think theyre 6mm allen?
look at some turbo installation guide and that should guide you.
