Question for the NA-T guys.
Does anyone else have issues where the pipe going to the TB which sits right ABOVE the turbo hotside and gets SUPER hot? I've got a turbo blanket on there and thought it would help with that, but it's not really helping.
It did help with the overall engine bay, now I can touch my battery terminals and not burn my fingers...
I didn't wrap my downpipe or manifold yet, ill be doing that this weekend.

Yea that was the whole reason I didn't wrap it, I may just get it coated when I can. I wrapped small portions of it where I had my oil lines and couplers close by.
EDIT: Does that high temp sillicone spray they sell with header wrap work to keep moisture out at all?

I wanted to go front facing, but its more work than I feel like doing at this point. lol. I had an idea, I figure I would cut a custom aluminum heat shield and then line it with some heat wrap, that way I would be able to keep heat isolated at the manifold and not have to worry about ceramic coating, front facing mani's and rusted mani's. We'll see how it works out. I will wrap the DP tho. Im sure it will make a world of difference.

WOW. I added some heat wrap on the first half of the downpipe and after driving around today, it made a HUGE difference.
I didn't do the whole thing... I really didn't want to have to go and pull the down pipe off. Its a pain and a half. I was able to wrap it pretty good where it was though, it just took a little time. I had it soaked in water so it wrapped nice and tight.
