Harvey Smith sorted mine Rob as well as providing a turbo blanket to reduce the temp under the bonnet (which was a surprise once I got the 18G fitted).

Cost of both was reasonable but he did all the labour so no tips I'm afraid.

I've just wrapped mine in Cooltek (search google) bought a 20m x 50mm roll, have got loads left and I did the whole 3 inch pipe,
also got some cable ties and some heat spray for the wrap, cost of the wrap and ties was £50 spray was £15.

Easier to wrap than I thought it would be, took about 20 min.
