Wrapping the log and DP?
Do most of you guys wrap your turbo log and down pipe with header wrap? I know it helps with keeping the under hood heat down and keeps more heat in the exhaust and hot air moves faster helping the turbo spool. I guess I just haven't seen that many people wrap them so just seeing who has.
I dont really want to do the cross-over pipe because of all the **** on the roads, even tho I probably wont drive it but only on nice days. Just wanted to see what your guys thoughts were.

Wrapping the crossover seemed to make the most sense to me from a performance standpoint. A cast manifold and sch 40 pipe turbo manifold don't transfer heat like tubing does. I might do the downpipe to control underhood temps eventually but I was trying to wrap as little as possible to avoid rust conditions.

Ben, didnt you used the smaller wrap? Easier to go around the log right?
