Default May of had a leak

Just took off my headers to re wrap them as wrap was starting to fall off.

All wrapped and looking good, put them back on, made sure everything was tight.

Now this is the fun part. Its been mapped to 1.2 (in really hot whether), now just recently colder whether boosting to 1.4.

Now re wrapped and nice and tight on there, its now boosting to 1.5.

Question is would that have been a leak on headers.? Also now spools up about 300rpm quicker. Getting 1bar at 2700rpm. So all good.

No matter how well you wrap headers you are not going to cure an exhaust gas leak.

I think my wording wasn't to well as was very tired.

On one of the gaskets looked like there was a small leak. not on headers. sorry for confusion.
