Heat wrap and ceramic coating
I recently purchased the 500r hp from a-spec, i got the hotside of the turbo and the downpipe ceramic coated, and I was wondering if heat wrapping the downpipe will yield any positive, or negative results. I wanna keep under hood temps down, but I have heard of premature wear when these two items are combined. Also, the car never drives in the rain so the heat wrap moisture thing is a non issue. Thnx

it will for a while but the heat wrap is useless, as within a week it burned off! only think i see worth it is wrapping your wires around the turbo (and the a/c line) with a coated heat wrap to prevent any wires or hoses from burning.
Oh and the turbo blanket is the best item i have under the hood (besides the motor )

I wrapped my manifold and downpipe and have had nothing but possitive effects, decrease temps under hood dramatically, and quicker spool. But I think most warranties are voided by doing this. Also already mentioned above cant go wrong with a turbo blanket

So whats the census on the actual wrapping or covering of the lim, with specific reference to the gold wrap. I have seen other insualting products that could be manipulated to form fit the lim.
