I know I can wrap it but I was gonna try making pure carbon pipes the only alloy being the end inch so it doesn't crack the carbon when you clamp it down.

With a bonding agent. Im gonna take the ends of the piping (3inch) and bond it from the tip down so it will from the outside be seamless carbon and the inside ends with be lined with 3 inches of alloy so it won't crack if you get giddy with the clips.

before intercooler, anything between 130deg c up to 200deg c depending how hard the turbo is working, 150c is a good average but these are peaks and temps can drop by half in a split second once off boost. Post intercooler, should be within a few degrees of ambient.

There is no point heat wrapping the pipe from the compressor to the intercooler. All that heat wrapping this pipe does is ensure that the air temperature entering the intercooler is higher than it needs to be. The temperature in the engine bay and in the inner wing ( ie. the pipe route from the compressor to the FMIC core inlet ) is below the compressed air charge temperature in that section so there is cooling to be had naturally without a heat barrier ie. exhaust wrap.
Also note that black is an abosrber of heat so anything wrapped in black will absorb temperature from the surrounding area. On the cold feed to the throttle body you would be better to heat wrap with exhaust wrap, buff colour with a silver reflective heat sleeve over the top so you do not absorb engine bay temperature on the cold side.
