FMIC pipes wrapped or not?
Hi, is it worth wrapping the fmic pipes? I'm in a wrapping frenzy at the mo, doing headers,up pipe, down pipe, turbo blanket, and wondered if wrapping the fmic pipes would help? It won't look so nice, but if it performs better, then it's worth it!
I have noticed the fmic pipe on the battery side gets warm, but my headers etc aren't wrapped yet.
Thanks,Mit

My mission is to get the under bonnet temps down, to help reduce charge temps. My turbo has no heat shield on it, so I'm fitting the DEI turbo wrap/blanket, same as Harvey sells. It should also aid spool, as the gasses will be hotter/faster.
